Connect a VCR to Vista Media Center via SCART and Pinnacle Hybrid

[Claudio Casonato]

Hi.
I have a PC running VISTA Home Premium 32 bits SP1 (AThlon 64 x2 5200, 2
giga RAM, Radeon 8600 GT 512).
As TV tuner I have the PINNACLE PCTV Hybrid Tuner Kit, that include a
connection for S-Video and Audio/Video connectors.

Now, as far I understood during the tests I did yesterday, the VCR should be
connected as 'Cable' - 'Set Top Box'. Is this correct?

The second question: when connecting a Set Top Box, Media Center asks for
configuring the remote control. I do have all the stuff to install the remote
control, coming with the TV Stick, but for space problems I cannot use it.

Is there a way to skip the 'remote control' configuration step, and go
directly to see the signal coming from the VCR?

Many thanks indeed for your help.

Not close at all. You need to find a group with "vista" in the name.

E.g. microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware
