Hooking a console up to WinFast TV2000 XP

[Iron_Monkey26]

Can anyone explain how to do this to me? Im pretty sure its possible (heard of other people doing it).

Im trying to hook up my gamecube so i can play it on my monitor (was playing on a 13 inch tv before). Ive got the WinFast TV2000 XP Deluxe tv tuner, and im not sure how im supposed to go about doing this.

Step by step intructions would be nice, but i would be thankful for any help.

Do you have an RF adapter for your Gamecube, or the standard RCA connectors?

The one with the three red, yellow and white connectors. Am i supposed to buy a different connector for this to work? Because the card came with an S-Video adaptor, which i assumed would solve this problem.

The S-Video connector is only for video, not audio. You can buy an RF adapter for your Gamecube, or if you wanna do it the free way, hook up your Gamecube to a VCR and then connect the VCR to the tv tuner. If you need more help let me know:t

If that is for the video, then shouldnt i at least be able to get a game without the sound?

A large part of the problem has been that I have no idea how to make the game show up in the tuner program, and the manual for the tuner has been of no help (too confusing for me).

Well if you just want video for now, plug the s-video cable into the tv tuner. take the yellow cord from your gamecube and plug it into the round black connector on the s-video cable (it's the only one that fits). Open WinFast PVR (the program used to watch TV) and press the "Video" button at the top of the remote control until the screen says "S-Video". Turn on your Gamecube, and it should work fine.

If you don't have your remote control, you can change to S-Video by clicking on the button in the lower right corner of the WinFast PVR control panel.

Thanks for all your help so far

Whenever i push the video button or the other button, nothing happens. The four little circles on the corner of the screen acknowledge that im pressing something, but nothing else happens.

Could the drivers or software be installed wrong?

Sorry for double posting, but i wanted to ask this question without starting a new thread.

If i buy the gamecube's RF adapter, will the end of the RF cable hook up to the unused port still left on the S-video cable adapter?

Also, I looked at an older VCR that we have to see if i could go about getting the audio to work that way. All that was there were two audio ports, both of the same kind going in and out (i dont see how that would fix the problem seeing how youre still stuck with that kind of connector) and two of those connectors taht the cable tv wires hook up to (the ones with the little wire in the middle that screw on), one being for an antenae, another for hooking it up to a tv. Am I just supposed to hook up the audio from the gamecube to the vcr, and then take one of those cable tv wires and hook the vcr up to the tv tuner?
