no... its not like a tv tuner...

vivo basically allows you to OUTPUT to a tv or something like that.. you cannot accept signals and decode them to give you a tv on your desktop..

if any of the cards you look to purchase lists VIVO as a feature... thats pretty much good enough...

s-video is the basic deal... naturally my video card is a little more advanced (I have dongles for devices I didnt even know existed :) ) but VIVO should be the other thing you are looking for :)

it looks like a dongle that allows for s-video and audio jacks to be plugged into it... of course w/o a better view its hard to see... but thats what it looks like...

that's just the dongle for s-video and composite video--input and output. any sound would be routed to your sound card.

the card doesn't have a tv tuner, per say... as you can't plug your coaxial cable from the wall into it and have the card decode it and change channels. but you could run the coaxial into your vcr and use the composite video output on the vcr to go into the card. the vcr does the decoding work in that case. in my short vivo-using time, that's what i did and it worked well.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
