I need some help with this. I recently bought a dell studio 15 and bought the tuner that dell offers and I was just wondering if how I could play games on this? Like hook up my wii to the tv tuner card? I can hook it up, but I can't find an option in media center for a composite signal so it can read the wii's signal. The TV tuner also didn't come with a disc, so I went to Aver's site and downloaded their media center program and the drivers, but the media center program can't even recognize the tv tuner. So I'm kinda stuck here. Anyone know a program that offers composite input that can be used with a tv tuner, or how I can make it work with Windows Media Center or make Aver's media center recognize my tuner?

you need to download the plugin for vista media center to play through it. I would highly recommend using avermedias tuner software to play the console games tho because I tried to do a full screen mode and it turned out a little funky.

Be careful with the RF cable. it easily breaks off the expresscard. Thats why I went the USB route. (although I had a usb's RF cable break off too )
