jenepherreIt's in. I'm out. Of my mind.
The actual hardware installation was a breeze, but fuck if I can understand the software and drivers and I'm not too happy with the image quality I'm getting. I'm usually good with technical stuff like this, but this thing is FUCKING DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!
Now, I know I can't use the TV-in feature yet, because I still need to get the right cables to connect my TV to the computer. It has a coaxial jack, and I hooked that up, but it doesn't work.
It doesn't help that opening up the computer stirs up all that dust and gets my allergies going either, I'm sure. So I'm sniffling and my eyes itch as I'm trying to figure out what the hell to try next. I mean, fuck... I couldn't even register the damn thing 'cause I forgot to write down some fucking product number that you can only get off the card itself. I got the serial number, but this is something different.
I'm probably just going to go to bed early and deal with it tomorrow. Maybe. Smallville starts in 40 minutes, and then there's Angel... but I bet I won't be able to stay awake that long. ::le sigh::
I'm sure I'll get it all worked out eventually, but so far I'm really unimpressed...
