Hi Nick, I have just tried three pieces of OS/2 software: TV-HAPPY TV-SHOW and BT32 The first two are original OS/2 programs the last is a port from Linux. TV-HAPPY is still being developed but TV-SHOW seems to have stopped being developed. On all three programs I am able to address a Dynalink TVMagic card that I have and can tune all of the local free-to-air stations in on video but none so far have been able to give me any audio. The documentation with BT32 says this is not unusual as although most manufacturers use the BT878 chip to decode video, they all use different methods to produce audio. It suggests trying every setting on a trail and error basis or it tells you how to debug the code (under Linux of course). Of the three products, the BT32 one seems to be the most advanced and has a capture option, that I have been unable to find in the other two. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that it works. I still have some other program packages to checkout but for now, I think I'll see if I can get a more (internationally) common board from the computer market tomorrow as this is then likely to be simpler to make work. I'll let you all know how/if I proceed. Cheers/2 Ed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
