Hello Skunks, For those of you using Windows XP: 1. Where can I get a USB radio card for use with a laptop? 2. How do I make VCDs to autoplay? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Hi Wash,
Do you know where i can get unlocked dongles in NAI.
Ibtisam, Sorry, but I have no idea what an "unlocked dongle" is, to start with, unless I google:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Hi wash, I recently bought a PCI-E tv card for a laptop, ditched it almost as soon as i got it, tv reception ws very poor. Comes with a nice portable aerial. The external USB tv box costs abt 4k. Check @ starcom. (starcomss.co.ke) 2. You mean the good old video cd where 1 movie needed 2 cds? :-) On 8/27/09, Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

Do you recommend this external USB TV box then?
2. You mean the good old video cd where 1 movie needed 2 cds? :-)
Yes, those ones:-) How do I get them to play as soon as the media is loaded/mounted (on Windows XP)? Something akin to Autoplay... -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

I think the most important factor is the tv signal strength and the type of aerial you have. I could 'lend' you my PCI-E card you try it out before you buy yours. I have never used those USB tv boxes before so i really dont know how good they are. On the VCD, you might want to check if there is an autorun.inf file on the disc. The contents of this file point to the file or application to be auto run. On 8/27/09, Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Peter,
In your initial response, one would have thought that you "ditched" the PCI-E TV Card because it did not meet your expectations. Were you pleased with the FM portion of it though? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Yes, the FM portion was ok and yes, my primary goal was the tv :-) On 8/27/09, Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com> wrote:
