Hi Jim, Can't remember that clearly, but the idea is to get the 2nd sound IF of the TV/FM tuner capacitively to one of the ADC inputs. The IF pin is one of the TV/FM tuner output pin. (It might not be available in all tuner module). I removed the existing circuit that was attached to this

Hi Jim, The card I use last time is PV-TV304P+ (REV .2B) with FMRC (FM and Remote Control) . The chipset used is CX23881. The card from newegg.com is using CX23883. Can't tell it is compatible or not. The data I got is 8 bit unsigned. Didn't try out 10 bit since I was quite dissapointed by the

Hew, Do you recall what the hardware mods were? I'm wondering if I can clean up card with caps here and there. I looked at your sine wave data. I low pass filtered it and got rid of most of that garbage. The tone is at 1890 Hz as far as I can tell. How did you generate that tone and what

Hew, Aren't you the guy how figured out how to get the ADC data from the CX23881 card into the PC? I found your website http://www.geocities.com/how_chee/cx23881.htm and looked at the data. I think I'm going to get one of these cards to play with. What model number do you have? I can find

Hi, A year back, there was an idea of getting the TV card vendor to make CX23881 as a cheap ADC device. Any news on this ? With this, a crude and slow spectrum analyzer would probably be possible. Crude here means if there is a high spectrum peak, probably there is a radio transmission but if

Hi again! It may not work ? I am doing this as an amateur project. I wish to use WinTV hardware as an RF spectrum analyser ? Bad idea? I did read an article on the net where a person had claimed he could make almost any TV card with a SAA* chip into a radio spectrum analyser. I was hopin

Hello there! Thank you for your response. I am using WinTV-PVR USB2 . Question : Is this the right way of replying to maintain the thread of the discussion ? Ahh well ...time ...say 12 hours will tell me : ) It is interesting to note that in this mailing list I can't post to the message board
