You have TV-In on your Geforce 4? How the hell did you manage to find that? And what card was it on?

Or did you me TV-Out

If it was anything except NVidia, like Xtasy or something, go to their website, if it was NVidia, go to their website and look in your card's driver section.

It is not really TV-in, as there is no Tuner. It's just composite in, and you'll have to use a VCR or something similar as a Tuner.

Eagle: All GF4Ti series cards have the possibility for TV-in/out, the manufacturer just needs to implement it on the board and supply a Y cable for the s-video port.

Awesome, I really havent looked into Geforce 4s.

Just the Tis?

I'm sure thats the idea IQ, they dont want to give full functionality on their cheap cards so they only do it for the expensive ones. Nvidia has gotten almost as bad as Intel, but not quite as bad as M$

I was just kidding...
I have a MX420, I looked through the manual about TV in and such, I didn't really care though, I'd just get a tuner card for like what? 25 bucks now?
