Yes you do. In order to establish a non-addressable system, it is essential to have a converter. A cable ready TV, VCR and a Cable Company box do not provide for this feature and in not doing so, cannot replace a converter. You must have a converter to use a descrambler. This is especially true if you desire a converter/descrambler that cannot be altered or addressed by your cable company.

The Swann Black Knight Camera receiver comes with an AV cable which plugs into the Video and Audio connectors on your TV or VCR. These plugs are commonly referred to as RCA plugs and are similar to the connectors used by game consoles and DVD players. If you plug your Swann Black Knight Camera's receiver into your VCR so that you can record the footage, you will need to select the AV channel on your VCR and then the channel on your TV that you normally use to watch video movies from your VCR.

For video, use the S-Video connection. If your VCR does not have S-Video, use the composite video connection. For audio, use a pair of stereo audio interconnects to connect the analog stereo audio output (RCA jacks) from the back panel of the VCR to the corresponding audio input for the set of video inputs used (e.g., "Video 3"). If you have a home theater receiver, make the audio connection to your home theater receiver instead of your Digital TV/HDTV.

Long answer: The minimum requirement for reproducing audio and video on DVD is an MPEG video stream and a PCM audio track. (Other streams such as Dolby Digital audio, MPEG audio, and subpicture are not necessary for the simplest case.) Basic DVD control codes are also needed. At the moment it's difficult in real time to encode the video and audio, combine them with DVD-V info, and write the whole thing to DVD. Even if you could do all this in a home recorder, it would be extremely expensive.

Everyone wants these to be TV's, but in most instances they are actually more closely related to the VCR. In a lot of models the only remote control that will satisfactorily work combo sets is the manufacturers original. In many cases even manufacturers that build their own TV's, have some other manufacturer build their TV/VCR combo's.

There are several methods for computer connection, but it appears that Ethernet 10BaseT is emerging as the most predominant method. Although it probably would be cheaper to produce the cable modem as an internal card for the computer, this would require different printed-circuit cards for different kinds of computers, and additionally would make the demarcation between cable network and the subscriber's computer too fuzzy.

The cable TV network is connected to a cable modem by a coaxial cable (like the one that connects your TV set to the cable TV network). The cable modem is then connected to your computer through an Ethernet cable and communicates with your computer through an Ethernet card that is already installed in your computer.

Unfortunately, no. The connector pinout is nonstandard, and so you have to use Creative's cable. However, one person supposedly found that the cable from Archos PVRs can be used: I really need to update this section, or the previous one on video, with free/legal, GUI-based programs that convert podcasts and other video into something the Vision:M can handle. If anyone has any suggestions, please mention them.)

Cable-ready, or more accurately, cable-compatible TVs and VCRs are designed to receive non-scrambled cable channels without the need for a converter from the cable operator. However, not all "cable-ready" TV sets can receive some of the cable channels found on higher frequencies. You may need to buy a "channel extender" (also referred to as a basic converter) to ensure that you receive all of the channels available with the Grande Expanded Cable service.
