[Sussex] VHS video capture help needed

[Desmond Armstrong]

> My next trick is to capture from VCR. At present I am attempting to do this via the RF (coaxial) connection but I'm not having much luck. Both VCR & capture card are tuned to 594 MHz which is the centre tuning for RF channel 36 but all I'm getting is wavy lines & snow with only the vaguest hint that I am starting & stopping the player. I haven't been able to find much dealing specifically with capturing VHS by this method & the information I have seen hasn't been very encouraging. I have tried to ensure that the input is set correctly on the card (0 or "Tuner") & that the standard is set to PAL-I, which is what it says in the manual for the VCR.

Naturally you should retune the RF output of the VHS recorder.
