Default OT - AV Capture


I have my digital satellite TV feed hooked up via coaxial cable (from it's
RF output) to a TV capture card, and this works fine, into PC.

But hooked up too, on the other side of the room, is a SCARTed & RF'ed
VCR/DVD player combo - which plays to the TV fine - but I am not sure how to
feed it all to the PC.

What would be the best way to hook them all up so I can use the feed from
the Sat Decoder, VCR or DVD over RF cable? Or other ?

At present the centre of the RF feed to PC is from Sat Decoder - but can't
find a way to change this to include the VCR/DVD combo - which just feeds
the TV.

Do I need to centre on the TV? If so I don't think it has any output I could
RF to TV capture...

Help ;-)

You could buy a video multiplier or RF converter..
Basically it allows coax, RCA, or S-Video inputs and will output via any of
the above.
So you could hook up your DVD/VCR to one set of inputs and your Sat or DVR
to another and then coax from the RF unit to your TV capture card.
