HP TV Tuner Card and Console Gaming?

It has the ability to plug in RCA cables but when I tried to play Wii on my laptop today there was a slight delay that would make it impossible to play. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? Thanks

Oh BTW, this is a great peripheral and everyone that has thought about buying one should.

 

I don't think theres any way to get rid of the delay unfortunatly. Unless you're willing to mod your system and somehow hook directly into the monitor.

 

I have a 5+ year old Hauppauge (sp?) PCI TV tuner in my desktop. I've plugged my xbox into it and it worked perfectly, with no delay. I don't know how HP's TV tuner works... but I assume it goes in the expresscard slot.. and that has a higher bandwidth than PCI does. I would try using the program DScaler (free, google it) with your TV tuner to see if that combats the lag. I'd imagine the lag is caused by bloated software, not hardware.

 

yes i think its software orientated. I am trying Dscaler now. Thanks for the help. Suggestions are still welcome

 

okay, i have it installed but when I try to do anythign it says "no combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection" Any help with that? I checked on the filters in teh filter tab but that hasnt seem to help anything.

 

You need a good tv tuner to use consoles.

 

either way, i feel as if Dscaler wasnt installed properly. I feel like i need more packages to finish the installation considering it says it cannot find th efilters.

 

I have continued to play with the settings of Dscaler and cannot get anything. Is there someone on here that is familiar with the program?

 

I haven't used Dscaler in a while, but for me it was as simple as selecting a random generic card because it didn't know my card and then selecting the right input. I never had to mess with the filters or any of that crap.
