Classic TV Lite card issue (TechGear)

Hello,
I have a problem (maybe just a configuration issue) connecting my console to my PC using a "Classic TV Lite" card from Techgear. I haven't really found any explanations either in the manual (which is almost non-existent) or online.
My card plugged into a PCI slot seems to be recognized normally and I've installed the programs and drivers without any problems.
Then I launch the WinTVR3 software and connect my console (only the yellow video cable for now) directly to the card. What should I do next to get the image? I'm completely lost :/ Should I get the image directly by performing an automatic search or are there settings to adjust?

Thank you in advance
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.8

I don't know your card or your software, but to help you, you need to find out how to enable the SVIDEO input on your TV card.

Be careful (the yellow cable should be an SVIDEO) make sure your card has this input and that it is not an output...

Normally, it's really an entry. However, if it needs to be activated as you said, I have no idea where I could do that.

When you declare channels on your TV card, you should be able to declare a channel of type "SVIDEO input" or something like that.

In fact, for my part, on my TV card, it's a field with a small arrow allowing you to choose among antenna, S-VIDEO1, S-VIDEO2, etc.

Well, I found out how to do it. Actually, WINTVR3 is poorly designed and there's nothing for the SVIDEO input, but I managed to make it work thanks to the remote control provided with the card.
However, the quality is awful... in black and white it’s okay, but in color the RGB is misaligned, which gives a really bad effect :/ On top of that, there’s also, as if that wasn’t enough, a bug with the 60 Hz (the image seems to double)... Anyway, I ended up with a really crappy card... I’ll see if I can do anything to improve all this. If anyone has any ideas, I’m all ears.

Thanks for your help MM42

YES !!!!
1 hour later ... everything is working great !!! Indeed, I installed the free program DScaler which allows you to adjust the video outputs of TV cards and the result after some tweaks is that everything works perfectly: Pal 60hz, perfect color, latency reduced O_o, PERFECT

For those who are struggling like I was with their card, I highly recommend this amazing program. See you!

Hello, I have several problems. First, I just bought a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy card to better operate my Logitech X530 5.1 system, but only two speakers are working along with the subwoofer. My second problem is that I just bought a Classic TV Lite card (TechGear) and I have no sound; the image is very clear but there is no sound. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance.
