External Video Source to V2S

[Anuba]

Im trying to connect external video source to the computer
, but can not add it .
Can not add channels, the fields are "greyed out"

I do not have any normal tv cable so in the scan it do not find any channels so I guess this might be the explanation.

But you should be able to only attach external source somehow ? HOW !!! ?? !!!

What cable are you using?

Tried some different cables. Two different yellow, red, white, and one S-VHS.

Ok, found an old answer from November. (search function would be nice, by the way... )

Not possible it seems... Since I only have satellite dish, I will in other words have to bring the whole machine over to a friend in order to install some channels that I later can delete..

Intriging...

Hi, Ihave posted previously regarding this. What you need to do is connect the composite yellow phono to the yellow plug, l and right, white and red phonos for audio etc. But here is the tricky bit. You can not select external video if you have not already setup your tuner. And, you can not set up your tuner untuil you plug in an aeriel into your rf connection. So, first thing, hook up the phonos of your ps2. Get yourself an rf connection, portable aeriel will do, even if its crap (like mine). Let it search for channels, and then when its finished setup a further channel and choose external input. My crappy aeriel found 12 fuzzy channels and the external input went on channel 13, annoying. So after i removed the aeriel, i deleted all the channels and renamed channel 13, external input, to channel one. The most annoying thing i found was, i put my xbox through the s-video connector and sky video sender into composite video connector. The vaio has only one set of aduio inputs. And, the s-video over-rides the composite. My solution round this was a cheap 4 input a/v box into the compostie in and switching via the switch box. It was a small compromise but very good. By the way, the Vaio eventually will see your ps2 as an external video and can be recorded through vaio-zone.

Best of luck.
