TV Input Device help
i have tried connecting my gaming console to my desktop (XPS Desktop A2010) using the TV Input device but i do not get any notification that it is properly connected, should it being showing up as an alternate monitor or should i be able to find it in window media center? also i am one vista 32 bit.

Hi LiquoTheWolf,
Is the A2010 an all-in-one desktop? Not familiar with that model. Tell me about the TV input device. Is that a coax connection?

yes the A2010 is an all in one model, the tv input device has the standard composite connectors for video and the other end of it (grey connector) looks similar to an s-video port and plugs into the back of the all-in-one.

Ok, when you connect a video source to this dongle, you are not going to see any hardware "recognized" by Windows. But you need to use Windows Media Center or Media Player to view the video input.

I have connected it to my computer but when i open windows media center, the live tv tab gives me the same static it did when i tried it before i plugged the device in, how do i access the video from it?

Hi Joseph966,
I'm not sure what you mean by "TV input device". Do you have a TV tuner and you are trying to connect it to the TV signal?

In TV tuner properties should be an option to specify composite rather than coax. Not knowing your specific model, that's the only thing I can suggest. I also have an analog TV tuner on my older Dell and when I use the composite line in, I have to select it each time. It may be necessary to use the setup wizard to set this.
