saweetnesstrev Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 It says i have a intergrated tv encoder on my nvidia fx 5700 ultra DDR2 card... What is this? Can i watch tv on my computer? Do i need a tv tuner or this is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacidz Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 You could read the manual perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saweetnesstrev Posted March 5, 2004 Author Share Posted March 5, 2004 Didn't really come with a manual sir.. Or i would.. Duh.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacidz Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My assumption is yes it is a tuner. But you could download the manual from the manufacturer so that you have a copy of it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerzdawg Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 providing you have a proper tv signal you could watch tv on your comp, however i am pretty sure the 5700 does not have a input for cable, however you should have a connector for s-video in/out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexor Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 no TV encoder is S-Vidio (TV-out in general) it encodes video in format TV's can reproduce (NTSC etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 video in video out cards(vivo) are usually alot more expensive so if you got one youd prolly know i dont think any of them have tv tuners built in. usually just svideo in/out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8tImER Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 The TV encoder chip encodes your graphics output (which you see on your computer monitor) and outputs it to the TV-Out connector of your graphics card. So: It's not a tuner. You can't watch TV with it. Sorry to disappoint you ;) Edit: Damn am I slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrowhead Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 It would be cool if Video cards came with TV tuners on them, but it would add to heat and more throttling back oh no! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
