can you share a tv card?

imaboutaquit · Jul 27, 2002

I have 2 pcs networked with a router, 1 with an AVERTV tv tuner card. This system runs windows 98 and my system runs XP. Is there any way that I can view the tv signal on my pc through the network? Just for grins I tried installing the card in my system so I could load the drivers, which I did, then removed the card and put it back into the other system. I can bring up the viewing screen but I get no signal. Am I looking for something that can't be done? Yes I'm too cheap to buy another tv tuner card!

Not likely. The tuner card uses the proprietary video on the PC on which it is installed.

This is off hauppauge's website. I tried it before, but the video that is shared isn't very high quality:
