TV Tuner Help

I recently got a new PC and I was just curious to see wether or not i could hook up my Wii or PS3 to it since it appears to have the same video and video inputs in the front.

Newegg.com - HP Pavilion M8330F(GX612AA) Phenom X4 9500(2.2GHz) 3GB DDR2 640GB NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT Windows Vista Home Premium - Desktop PCs

If this is possible would any1 have any recommendations as to what type of software i should use to make this work? I have tried with windows media center and it doesnt seem to do the job.

Re: TV Tuner Help

I am not sure you can - I think that is for *recording* multimedia, like from a video camera.

Have you tried contacting HP technical support?

No I haven't called yet but I knda figured it was possible, aren't you suposed to be able top see the image while recording? Is There any good software for recording? Im trying to use Chris TV but i just cant work it correctly. I plugged in my Wii and was actualy able to see the Wii menu during the channel scan but at the end of the scan it said there was no channels available. Can anyone help with Chris TV configuraton?

You're welcome - it took the right combination of search words in Google to find those links, but as soon as I got the combo right for one console, the same set worked for all three, just replacing the console name each time.
