VLC as TV tuner viewing application

[badyto]

Hi! First i have to say that VLC is a perfect software! I just love it. Now i have one problem...
Problem:
I want to watch TV in VLC. My Tuner is Pinnacle hybrid pro card (310c). The programe shipped with the card is absolutly trash, just trash...
To watch TV in VLC i use: Open -> DirectShow and there i can choose the video and audio source, the video source is not a problem, i choose "Analog Video Capture"
but when i want to choose the audio there is just my sound card and "none" option but i would be very happy if i can set there something lige "Tuner Audio Capture" or something like that I even refreshed the list but its still not there
When i open VirtualDub the audio is fine, as audio device there is "0 Capture device". If that helps...
Thank you very much for any kind of help.

For analog capture, if your capture device has an analog audio capture possibility, it should be a directshow compatible device and you should see it in other software like Audacity. If it doesn't show up in Audacity, then it won't show up on VLC either. Usually you have to use separate audio cable to transfer audio from analog TV card to soundcard.

But my tuner card doesnt have a line-out. And i remember one time i was able to play video and sound in vlc, but then i reinstalled the windows...

Edit: Now i downloaded the driver and the PCTV310cTV.inf says this:

; DShow Filter
;.....................

VIDFriendlyName = "Analog Video Capture"
AudioFriendlyName = "Tuner Card Audio Capture"
TVAudioFriendlyName = "Tuner Card TvAudio"
XBARFriendlyName = "Tuner Card Crossbar"
TunerFriendlyName = "Analog TV Tuner"
BDATuneFriendlyName = "DVB-T Tuner"
TSFriendlyName = "DVB-T Digital TV Capture"


So it should be DirectShow compatible isnt it?

Edit2: So i maualy reinstalled the drivers and now i can finaly see the "Tuner Card Audio Capture" option and i am able to play sound, however now i dont see video during the playback, only one first screenshot and then nothing, just audio. when i Select only video and no audio in the open dialog i can see video in the playback, but when both, only audio plays any help please?

Does it work ok with other capture softwares (like Virtualdub)?

When i reinstalled the drivers, my TVCenter application didnt even start, and VLC was like i described above. video or audio. So i reinstalled the drivers again, now my TVCenter works but in VLC:
in Open -> DirectShow tab i can set both video and audio but when i hit OK there is no sound and no video.
In virtualdub everything is fine, both video and audio are working properly.
Im getting realy sick of this, would reinstalling windows solve this problem? or what should i do please help! If i can run TV in VLC i wouldnt need TVCenter. It eats my resources badly, i wait like for 2 minutes while it launches and it has all the features that I dont use and the ones i would love to have, like other than 4:3 ratio in fullscreen are missing. Thanks for any help!

There are better tools for TV viewing than VLC. Dscaler is great but you can also like VLC nightly builds to see if they work better.
