composite channel on media center??

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Not sure why it doesn't post on at the first time i'll repost it again.

I have a PS2, TV tuner, Vista media center

How do it make it work !?

I did the channel scanning thing but it doesn't pick up any channel, however
when i do it manuelly i do able to choose composite which has signals from my
ps2. But when I hit next, it says i don't have some hardward so i've been
forced to go back.

I turn on live tv. i ahve some channel going (i have no cabel so all i see
is dust) but how do i switch to composite channel to play my PS2. I do have
seen there are signals in the little preview window when i was doing the
scan. but how come i couldn't get to it?

When you select Composite as your video source, Media Center expects to see
a set top box that it can control. Since you don't have the IR hardware for
this connected, it will not allow you to continue with TV Signal setup.

and to add to Doug's comments, you wouldn't want to play through MCE anyway,
as there is a several second delay (because of buffering). It would make
game play near-impossible.
