I have a PNY 6600GT with vivo functions and I want to view my Direct TV on my monitor. I installed the WDM drivers but I am lost on how to actually view the video. Thanks for the help.

wow i'm confused. the 6600gt doesn't have a tv tuner. i assume you have an s-video out from a DirectTV receiver? doesn't DScaler directly communicate with the tv tuner hardware? that wouldn't work in this case. this is an s-video in solution, not coax. unless, of course, DScaler will input s-video or composite. also i wasn't aware the 6600GT had a video-in. news to me.

DScaler is irrelevant here, as far as I know. it communicates directly with the tuner chip and then deinterlaces in software, yes. it does a better quality job, though.
