That is just it, those are tuners. Your computer is built to handle
DVD and video files. The tuners take a cable or antenna signal and
turn it into a video signal. Your stand alone DVD player only holds 1
disk, and is not seen by the tuners because the computers video card
does that work.

Hi and thank you for continuing to try and help me!
However, I think we are having some misunderstanding.
Only 1 of my tuners on my Adaptech duel tuner is working.
I am placing the video or DVD in my machine that plays either one of
them. I do not put the DVD in my computer's disk drive, to be read by my tuner,
Instead, I want the Win Hauppauge tuner to receive the video and
audio signal from the video/DVD machine. That is why, I thought each
of my videos or DVDS could be available through my Windows Media Center.
Are you saying that this is not possible?
What would make their video and audio signals any different from the
cable's video/audio signals?
Again Many thanks! Vicky

So let me get this right you have the adapctech dual tuner and a
Hauppauge tuner card? That makes 3 tuners. You would have to have
your cable source hooked to both to get both to get channels.
Running both shouldn't be much, because there software and drivers
are different.
Now as far as DVD and video's. The computer handles those two
different. you can rip the DVD and get a 4mbg file. Because you can
only have one DVD in the CDROM.
Its not possible to get the tuner cards listings to show up with
the DVD or video files. there just to different in handling.

My first tuner card is an Adaptech duel tuner.
I think if both channels were working, I might be home free.
What I want to happen, is for a card to give me the opportunity to
think of the DVD or video playing in the same way as a TV show
that is playing and be able to record it in the same fashion.
The whole point of this, is so I would then be able to have all my
movie titles displayed for selection, just as my recorded shows are displayed.
Thanks for your continued help! Vicky

What is the other tuner card?

Thank you for your thoughts on my TV tuner problem!
The problem I have, is that my duel tuner only now works on one source.
I have not been successful in finding a replacement duel tuner.
What I did, was to buy a Win Hauppauge single tuner card and
also install it. Perhaps my problems stem from the two cards
not wanting to play nice with each other.
My computer is a laptop and is probably about 6 years old.
Thanks much for any help! Vicky

Hi Victoria, why would you need a second TV tuner card for playing
DVDs and movies? Modern Windows computers should be able to do that
right out of the box. TV tuner cards only give access to television
stations, and one, especially if it has two or more "tuners" so it can
access multiple channels at once, should be more than sufficient.
Cheers,
Grant

Hi Folks, My XP laptop seemingly cannot handle 2 TV tuner
cards. What I want
to be able to do, is to have one of them for live and recorded
TV programs
and the other for my videos and DVDS.
Do you think a quad speed Windows 7 computer with JAWS
professional could
handle this?
Any and all thoughts or suggestions will be gratefully received! Vicky
