AJ, a couple of comments about your email with Wavephore.. you said: >Many consumers buying >computers this past year have TV-input ports integrated on their Video >Cards. Will this input be enough to receive the WaveTop broadcast from >PBS? When you said "TV-input ports" I assume you mean an "RF antenna input" connector not the "Composite/Svideo input" which some existing video cards do have. (just to clarify for others) >Will your software's reception interfere with the Video Card based tuner >software for those who use it to watch TV or do video capture on their >monitors? (Wavephore says you just need to use a 2nd TV Tuner card) Sounds like WaveTop software must be using a different Interrupt than the Microsoft/OEM TV Viewer software, since in Win98 you can't run the OEM tuner software that comes with the card at the same time as Microsoft's TV software. So it sounds like WAVO has gotten around this. It's good to know the company is being responsive to your inquiry. Paul
