CATV-out for a PC (non agp solution)

July 4th, 2009
  • I was looking to hook up my computer to a TV set. Only I don't want to replace my existing AGP video card to do this. I need an auxiliary CATV video output that hooks up to a PCI slot or USB/USB2, so I can have the same screen on the PC Monitor and the TV at the same time. If that doesn't exist, an S-Video-to-CATV or DVI-to-CATV (or VGA-to-CATV as a last resort) converter would also solve my problem. Lowest price and best quality solution is, of course, best =) Thnx.


  • Hi fiend, I don't think there are any video outputs that hook up into USB. Do you absolutely need to use your TV's CATV input to do this? If your TV has RCA inputs and, as it seems to be the case, your AGP card has an S-Video output, it's easier to find an S-Video-to-RCA cable, which is quite cheap. Best wishes, elmarto


  • Hello, Hauppage has two cards that will allow you to use a TV input and drive either a regular monitor or a digital TV, while watching TV on the PC as well (see towards the bottom of the page, from the bottom, card's 3 and 4) http://www.hauppauge.com/html/products.htm#digital Here's a product that will allow you to use the USB port to run a video out: http://www.datapro.net/products/UV-100.html From another source: http://www.nanosys1.com/usb-gwc-uv-100.html Perhaps a video splitter attatched to the output of your computer: http://www.provantage.com/scripts/go.dll/-s/ffvidspl Which could then connect to an RF modulator or SVGA-to-S-video for TV output: http://www.smarthome.com/7743.html Would also work. If none of these are what you're looking for, request a clarification and I'll help find something more suitable. synarchy Search strategy "auxiliary video out" usb-to-catv usb-to-video modulator svga
