on top of the card there is some writing. 3 check boxes.
NTSC-J, EIA-J - not checked
NTSC-M, PAL M, PAL N, MTS - checked.
PAL B/G, PAL I, PAL D/K, SECAM L/L, Secam D/K,, SECAM B/G, A2, NICAM - not checked.
I don't know what these mean.
All I remember is you plug the coaxial cable on the card and you could watch TV on your computer with the Winfast software.
what do the other 2 mean? NTSC-J and PAL B/G etc? Are they outdated too?
I know my internet provider changed from analog to cable TV. I don't know the difference though.
you'll also need software like winfast with an electronic program guide to tune TV and identify & schedule recordings. It will encode in JPEG2 which you can play back on any number of media players like windows media player, VLC, or software like winfast.
yes my internet provider does phone and cable. I only have internet though. I remember reading they changed from analog to digital cable but I don't know the difference.NTSC J is a variant used in Japan and PAL is a different broadcast system used in other parts of the world. It has a different frame rate than NTSC.
Your internet provider is probably your TV programming provider too? And has probably changed from analog to digital or ATSC programming.
