    I connect the playstation scart plug into the vcr and then I split the antenna output of the vcr into two. One going to the TV and another to the PC.

    Once you get familiar with the cables and their connectors, you'll get it.

    If you want your VCR to go to your TV and PC at the same time. I would just
    use a normal lead. That splitter is wrong anyway.

    An RF lead, the standard one that goes in your TV.

    Wtf ? That is the correct splitter, I think you need to look again

    Any decent TV-tuner card would (and I can't recall seeing one that didn't) have a coaxial cable hookup on it. Thats the thick cable that plugs into your TV for those unsure.

    Run a short coaxial from your VCR's TV-OUT plug, attach that splitter, then attach two coaxial cables to the respective ends of the splitter.

    Run one to the TV, the other to the TV card. Simple as that.

    That splitter looks wrong to me also. It has screw threads on it. I'm thinking

    A) It's a permanent splitter which you have to hard wire
    B) Americans have screw connectors on their co-ax for their tellies

    Either could be wrong, but it would explain why the brits think that it's the wronger splitter.

    Yes, we used threads in america to keep things fastened. That way when we trip on the cord the whole thing falls and breaks

    THere are pull on-off cables over here as well, they work with threaded connections. I own some actually.


    Either way, thats the correct splitter. You just use coaxial like normal and hook it up to the PC, I have drawn a picture to clear all confusion.
