More problems for you awesome techy people here ;_;
I got this WinTV thing todaaay. So I'm meant to get digital TV channels on my PC, woot. But it seems to kinda suck. I didn't notice that it says it needs a USB 2.0 port. Well I thought it may just run slower on USB 1. It all set up ok and stuff but then I tried to tune to pick up the channels and it wouldn't pick them up..then it had a message about needing usb 2.0 port to stream video stuff....
As my computer only has USB 1 ports, I guess that I need to buy a USB 2.0 hub or extra ports or whatever to connect.
But in my instructions, it says "Due to power and bandwidth requirement, we do not recommend connecting the unit into a USB Hub. Connect the WinTV-Nova-T-Stick to the USB connection of your computer."
Okay, so that sounds like I have to have a USB 2.0 port directly on my computer already...but I don't ;_; Do I need to buy one and actually install it inside the computer? Anyone got any experience with WinTV? thanks.. ;__;
