Hi Friends,
Here Is My Working Tutorial On How To Connect Any Digital TV To PC.

[FONT=&quot]After A Long Survey On Most Forums And Sites, I Came To Know That A Problem That People Are Facing That Is How To Connect TataSky, DishTV, BigTV, AirTel Digital TV…To PC. For Recording Programs.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hear Is A Simple Way How : [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]You Need The Following Things Before You Start[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]A TV Tuner Card (Internal, Make Sure You Buy Internal TV Tuner Card, External TV Tuner Card Doesn’t Support Recording.)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Now You Are Done With It[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I) In Case One (Where TV Tuner Has All The RCA Ports)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Connect All The RCA Ports To The RCA Hubs To The Back Of STB And Other Directly To The RCA Hubs On The TV Tuner Card.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]*img41.imageshack.us/i/60482872.jpg/[/FONT]*img81.imageshack.us/img81/1763/95261626.jpg

[FONT=&quot]That’s All! We Have Done It.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]II) In The 2nd Case (Where TV Tuner Has Only One Video Composite Port)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]First Of All Connect The, The Yellow Port Of RCA Cable To The Yellow Port Behind The STB.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And Leave The Other White And Red Ports, As It Is. And Connect The Other Yellow Port On The TV Tuner Card.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Now Connect The RCA Stereo Cable To The RED AND WHITE Ports, Behind The STB And Other Side To The Line In Of Your Soundcard.[/FONT]
