Techy question...

Raphael · 02-02-2003, 08:15 AM

I live in England, and as such will be forced to watch encodes as opposed to the real thing for at least a year before it's shown here...

Anyway, my question is this: is there any sort of program that would allow me to tune into the American FoxBox shows via my computer? I have a TV-out card on my computer, I just don't know what it's for.

Is it possible, or should I just wait for the encodes?

Thanks.

I think you just have to wait for the encodes...but if what I've heard is correct, when the new series comes to the UK, it WON'T be butchered into TMHT like it was in the past...at least I hope so.

I dunno when the show is coming to the UK, but think it was far less than a year, especially if it does well here in the US.

And if the encodes are good quality and you have a TV-out, It is the same as watching them from TV. Except the fact there is No commercials.

As for raph's question...the only thing you'll be able to do with a tv-out card is watching your pc with the tv instead of the monitor.
Even with a tv-in card, you'd need to get foxbox to see it in your pc, and if you get that channel, then you can obviously watch it in tv AND HAVE NO FRICKIN NEED TO WATCH IT IN YER PC' :p
So yup...you'll have to stick to the encodes for now...only other options i see is either you moving to the usa (yeah right ;P ), waiting for the toon to be aired in your country, or pray that foxbox puts some streaming thingie which will let you watch the eps in yer pc without downloading em (and if that'd be the case, the video quality would be most likely crappy

)
