I bought a TV tuner card and I want to use VLC to play the channels. I
tried Googling how to do it, but the text doesn't match what I have. I
guess there are too many changes in VLC since the docs were written.
Anyway........When I go to setup I see this:

I have changed the setting to my card which is a ATI Wonder HD750.
When I pick "advanced" I am really guessing what is next. All I have
tried so far is to enter the channel and tell VLC I am using "cable"
When I push "play" (it sometimes says "stream") Nothing happens.

cable, I was able to get VLC to play, but only a half screen picture.
I also was not able to change channels. VLC didn't save any of the
settings. I hope there is a way to use VLC without entering all
these settings each time.

Another reason I really want to use VLC is because I can set it to
"always on top" The built in software doesn't support this.
Anyone know of a more appropriate Usenet group for this topic?

Since VLC seems to be pretty complicated, I am going to try using
Media Center. It is strange that the ATI tech support did not suggest
that.
