Because the people here that I work with want to incorporate the TV converter to a dedicate server and want to be able to get news and be able to capture the video of the broadcaster.</DIV> <DIV>But we wanted to test the vlc software and TV converter first before connecting to the network.</DIV> <DIV>Thank you very much for your help ..</DIV> <DIV>Now I need to find out how to go and try another way.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Happy new year</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Herb<BR><BR><B><I>Terry Jackson <terryj@mtmrecognition.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Yes, that is what I’m saying.
