TV on Your PC / WMP

[FlyingSaucer]

I have a Pinnacle Movie box connected to my PC via Firewire/1394.
The Pinnacle Movie Box allows one to connect an a/v source like an analog camcorder or...the output of your cable box.

Using this I can capture TV shows and watch them as AVI files after the fact.

But I can't figure out how to watch in real time.

Does anyone know about codecs or getting Windows Media Player to recognize the stream?

Try using WMP 10, and getting DivX video codec

Thanks, I will try that.

Are you guessing or do you know?

Trying to understand why this would work...

I am using ORB (http://www.orb.com) and can watch TV from home at work. Best part is its free.

scott i have athlon xp 2600+ 2.13 ghz with a gig of ram, it says at orb.com that it needs 2.4 ghz to work, do you think this would work on my pc?
