revolations2525 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well, If you want to watch tv on your computer, one of the best ways would to be get a tv tuner card or a tv capture card (same thing). But if you computer already has on, you just usaully need to plug the cable line into the card. (If I'am wrong, please correct me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxAtimiskxx Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 My mom and dad are divorced and he has Direct TV which gets G4 and my mom has Comcast and i've asked her to get it for me but she said no.(sigh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Lets take a step back and see if we can't help you with the root of the problem, because getting G4 may not be the solution. What exactly are you looking for because there may be some better alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari6502 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It depends on how your cable provider feeds G4 to you, though. For me, G4 is channel 219 and is part of the digital cable package. I have a ATI AIW card and can't get it ,without going through the provided cable box. Without the cable box connected, I can get all analog channels. The same as any cable ready TV actually.

xxAtimiskxx Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 just being able to watch tv on my computer without a tv tuner or as an alternative can you tell me some good tv tuners for laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotChild Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 G4!? I could understand G4TechTV ('Cause it gets CFH), but G4!? You'll need a TV tuner, with MCE there have been issues with some tuners not working. Make sure the one you buy does. Edit - Darren beat me to it.

mubix Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 G4!?I could understand G4TechTV ('Cause it gets CFH), but G4!? I concur. There should be a boycott of all things G4. ZDTV4Life baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 You'll need an IR blaster on your digital cable tuner that will allow your computer to change its channel. Depending on the setup this may be either tricky or near impossible. Oh, and just a heads up G4 podcasts just about everything. You can find em on itunes. Mostly clips from X-Play and Attack of the something or another who cares anymore.

RobotChild Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 AOTS used to be half-decent. It was watchable. (Just like informercials are "watchable") After the departure of Sarah, and Brenden the show became pure crap. Completely unwatchable.

anyedie Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 G4 has some good shows but they are killing it. I dont know what G4 you have! I loved my G4TechTv back in the day. But now its just bad car dramas, x-play, CHEATERS! WHAT THE HELL! WHY IS CHEATERS ON G4! And a few other bad shows. (sometimes I do whach x-play, but the rest suck, that kinda sucks too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 thankfully we've still got G4TechTV up in Canada and licensed to Foxtel for the How-To network in Australia. And with Call for Help moving from the Omni studio in Toronto to the Greedy studio in Vancouver I believe this gives them a fighting chance of getting on in the US market again. It's just a shame it'll be so far away from us, we really enjoyed driving up to Toronto to do Call for Help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
