NTL:TV card?

I have an ATI TV card that I gave up on ages ago, I only wanted it to copy old videos of the kids to CD. It never worked, It would not tune into the VHS player (two of) I may try again but does anybody know if I can connect my NTL set top box to it and get TV on my PC and how?

bothered.

ps, it's a TV wonder.

If your NTL box has a coaxial out (that isnt just a passthrough) then yes. You just need to tune the card in like you would a TV (i,e, not using scart mode on a TV, just normal tuning). If you can tune a TV into it without using a scart cable then you should be able to turn the TV card in.

Sky is around 39 on the Spectrum (with Digital Tuning on normal analog coax you have a range from 0 to 72, BBC 1 is 52, BBC2 is 54, ITV is 56 and Channel 4 is 58).
