Greets,
Looking at the back of my TV Wonder VE, it has a CATV (co-ax) in, a
composite in and an audio out. IIRC, the audio in goes in to your
sound cards line in.
I never tried video capture, for two reasons:
1. I got the card to be able to watch the news in my home office,
and...
2. The card was extremely "wonky" on my system. I futzed around with
it a couple of days and removed it. It has been sitting on a shelf
since.
There are, from what I understand, much better capture cards out
there.
Hope this helps in some small way.
