TV Tuner for PC to connect my Amiga via Scart cable.

Are there anyone here who uses a tv tuner card for the PC to connect their Amiga?

I need a good card that can both handle DVB-T and connect my Amiga via my RGB to Scart cable.

Thanks.

Volt.

I do not know any tv tuner with scart input,it seems they don't exists
but there are tons tv tuners with svhs input
I connect my A1200 to my Lifeview tv tuner via SVHS and the quality is amazing
The image is much better and sharper than my commodore 1084s monitor + the plus of zero flicker in high res screens
I use DSCALER as main program ,it's the best by far also you have there lot of deinterlace filters to use

It's for connecting the Amiga to the tv tuner card.

How is the quality of the picture when going from the composite port in the Amiga to S-VHS in a TV Tuner Card?

And CLAUDDIO how do you connect your Amiga to the TV Tuner Card? Comp to S-VHS?

Thanks.

Volt.

The quality via composite is good ,not very good as SVHS but good anyways for games
To connect the amiga via SVHS you need something like this adapter
http://www.amigamaniac.com/RGB_to_PAL_NTSC_adapter.html
or you can make your own svhs adappter using this
http://aminet.net/docs/hard/S-Video_A1200.lzh
(I connect my A1200 with it)

The tv tuner you posted will work of course,however I'm not sure if will be compatible with DSCALER

Doh, read it as you wanted to stick that in an Amiga, .
I would go with S-Video if possible. Other than that I used to use Phono Composite on my A1200 and S-Video on my CD32.

Is it possible to go from Comp in Amiga to S-VHS or Composite in the TV Tuner card? And how is the quality of that?

Thanks

Volt.
