How to connect my laptop to TV through VCR?

Can I use my vcr as a tv tuner for my laptop?

  • I bought a new dell inspiron 1525 laptop, and i have a vcr. The TV cable is plugged in the RF IN, The RF OUT was connected to the tv i used to have. Now i was wondering if i could use my laptop as a tv trough my vcr. I tried to connect it trough a s-video cable, but my laptop thought that i plugged an extarnal screen/tv. so i used a s-video -> scart converter connected to the vcr, same results. Windows media center doesn't detect anything. Is there software which could solve this problem? If it is possible for me to use my vcr as a tv tuner. What am i doing wrong?

  • Answer:
