Computer with a VGA cable

Post by ushangry »

How do I record my Tv onto my Computer with a VGA cable? I have bought the correct cables to do this, hooked them up, but i don't know whats wrong. I hooked my VGA Male cable into my Samsung Tv and had the converted Female end hooked into my hard drive. No new software is showing up. What should i do?

You're definitely a spambot. Not making a fool of myself this time, I'll explain exactly why:
1. This is completely unrelated to Unofficial Keen Games, either you're not very intelligent at ALL or you're a spambot,
2. If your description of what you've been doing with your PC is any indication, I'm not sure you'd know how to turn your computer on, or at least if it would boot after what you did to it. Plugging your TV... into your hard drive? That's breaking new ground in stupidity. Spam spam spam.

so either you're a spambot or you're just really dumb. I guess if you're a real person you're going to be offended either way, oh well. PRETTY SURE YOU'RE A SPAMBOT THOUGH

Haha, this is so bizarre I'd actually believe it... if only because a spambot would have nothing to gain from this post.

lol, hooking up a video cable directly into your hard drive. I'd like to see that one.


Edit: I don't think it's a spambot but someone was really trying to make a joke with that thread, now that I reread it. It's just too ignorant. :P

UPDATE: Someone we know has joined the IRC channel as 'ushangry'. The following info is incorrect, but keep for 'historical purposes' :P

[UNRELATED]ushangry is not a spam bot. A few ppl including me could just see someone joining the #pckf IRC channel under the nickname 'unhangry', again asking about hdd and vga probs.

It looks like a quiz now for what's going on... maybe it's some kind of a joke/game?[/UNRELATED]

Maybe it's not a spambot, but it's a spammer. This is totally unrelated to Keen.

I moved this to Misc just in case it's not a spam bot.

As said, what could it gain with this? :confused

Possibly it is raising interest in this so you will google or such for it and buy someone's product.

Possibly this is a botnet by some bored hacker who wants to just annoy people.

Possibly this is a spambot with an array of random topics to help it get past people's radars, much like the spam emails I get with titles like 'Hungrily the aunt thirsted for mead' containing gibberish and a single link to herbal viagra.

i think its cute that one end of the vga cable is a female.
I tell you, if we only gave our IT guys sex ed, there'd be much fewer viruses on our computers!

I can just imagine a "video condom" that makes your Blurays look like VHS tapes.
