guys,
i got a 6 year old external TV tuner Card from my cousin which is Odyssey
CRT TV BOX QS8838. It did not have an adapter so i used the adapter of my teracom Adsl modem which fitted perfectly. First of all I used this on a Samsung 933 LCD monitor and it showed the starting screen written combo tv Box. But no tv shows was present. Then I used it on an old samsung crt monitor but after showing the default screen the screen went blank.The monitor was on but no signal was detected. I tried it again on the LCD and it too did not detect any signal. Now I dont know what to do. Please help me out so that i can enjoy TV in my computer.

your tv adapter is +5V 1Amp
my sterlite adsl modem is +12V 1Amp. didnt find teracom modem power specification

if i am correct its time for u to buy yourself another tuner....
