I don't know if this is PCAudio related, but I'm using ATT UVerse. With
this, I'm able to use the computer to record shows to my DVR, and watch
them. It's fairly easy for me to do this way.

Subject: RE: over the air tv on a win 7 machine?
Yeah, I know. If there where a Media Center list then maybe. But that's
the
thing I'm interested in too. Watching cable TV on the PC. Specificly it
would be a Dell XPS-8300. What I'm interested in knowing is will it still
work. But see the problem is you have to then start talking about the
different carriers, Comcast, AT&T Verison and the like. That's where Tom
said it's too deep. I kind of knew it all along, but if you want to find
out
what I want to find out, you have no choice but get into it that way. But
yeah, I got the point though, Audio is the main point on this list, but
even
then you can go too deep. I had to or at least I felt it was wiser for me
to
take my discussion about HDMI audio with Dain off list because we were
going
to discuss graphics cards for a bit. I figured that might be a little too
much. But yeah, let's see what Tom says, but a Windows Media Center kind
of
list would really be where this discussion really belongs I guess.

I'm interested, but I want something that makes shows on cable accessible
and that seems to be farther away than access to local TV.
I would agree that there is a lot of interest, and I understand how it
might
be contriversial on a list primarily geared to the discussion of audio.
The
problem is that I wonder how many folks would subscribe to a list that
only
delt with discussion of the topic we are talking about. My guess is that
it
would take a lot of publicity to get may people.

Hi. I'm still very interested in this topic and wish we could discuss it
further. I know it's a little out-of-the-scope of things on this list but
I think people are interested in this topic like myself. So I beg Tom to
let us delve in to this. I myself am tired of paying over 130 bucks for
these services for 75 percent of it to be inaccessible. If I'm the only
one that feels this way than I'll bow my head and not mention it again.
thanks

Yeah, this right. You need a TV toner that you can put the Comcast card
into. I forgot about this. But when I talked to them, they said it
should
work just fine like it use to. Again, if you all want to go deeper,
which
I
would want to, E-mail me off list because when you get into things like
Comcast and the like, I guess we are going beyond the scope of the list.

Gary, This is Vicky. I had thought to work with a TV tuner in my new
Windows
7 computer with Jaws 13, but no go. My ISP, Comcast, says now I will
only
be
able to work this with one of their cards, which I will be having
installed
on Wednesday January 4. This will be replacing my Set Top Box, so I'll
be
paying rent on it each month, just like I have done on the Set Top Box.
What ISP provider do you have? What card are you successfully using on
what
computer?
Many thanks for any help! Vicky

Mary,
In my previous post, I said that I didn't have any experience setting
up
Media Center in Windows 7; now I do. Sighted assistance would
definitely
be preferred, but if none is available, I would suggest that the NVDA
screen reader would be the best choice for tackling the setup screens.
I
didn't get anything with Window-Eyes. the OCR in JAWS for Windows 13
did
give me some usable text, but having to Use OCR on every screen gets
rather tedious. NVDA seems to read the setup screens pretty well, but
you
do need to know how to get it to speak the necessary information.
Once set up, you can use your screen reader of choice to access the
Program Guide. I just press Spacebar to get a particular channel in
the
Guide to play or pause. Page Up and Page Down can be used to change
channels.
I'm enjoying having TV on my computer. I'll have to check out the
recording features next.

Oh, there is no way I'm paying that much for a tv app. Forget it. Do
you have experience with the Win media set up under win 7, Gary?
