S-Video or the Video RCA Cable and the other two sound cables must be connected to RCA Ports on sound card. Most sound cards dont have 2 RCA Ports but the expensive ones do.

I remember when Dish was talking about making software for computers to allow video to be displayed on the pc but they backed down from that.

For audio if your card doesnt have RCA Audio in you can get get RCA -> 1/8 mini plug converters. Theyre $3 at RatShack.

You connect to your ATI input adapter block (the purple thing that comes with all All-In-Wonder cards (except the Radeon 8500DV, it has a different one with FireWire and outputs). It's as simple as that. In MMC TV you select the SVideo input (assuming that's the one you connected to).

Easiest way is to just use the cable connection, that will carry audio and video. Otherwise like Mark said, you need the adaptor block. You can get one from ATI in canada for 10.00 and 10.00 shipping. All the drivers are on their web site. You need the ATI video player along with the regular driver.

I "backfeed" the RF output of my PVR501 to the RF (antenna) input of my AIW128 on this computer.

I watch Dnw on Ch 3. I have A&E on right now as I'm typing this post.
