Greetings all,
I'm thinking of extending Astro Byond to a laptop instead of a PC with capture card. The only 2 ways I can think of are these: 1. Astro Composite out/Component Out--->RF Modulator---->AEM Extra Link (via coax)--->USB Tuner Dongle --->Laptop. (cheaper solution) 2. Astro Composite out/Component Out--->Wireless Extender--->USB Tuner Dongle--->Laptop. Question is, anyone tried this before? Another TV would be easier but I'm scared the wifey wouldn't agree to a 3rd LCD TV  Thanks in advance. |
