Zakaria,

It'd be impossible to write the code in VFP.

I just got a new machine with a TV Tuner card it uses the Windows XP Media Center Edition and it does a fairly decent job at displaying live TV as well as record it. The recorded files (at best quality) weigh in roughly at 1 megabyte per second, a 60 minute recording is around 3 gb. The Windows Media Player is capable of playing these dvr files but it can't display a live stream from the tuner directly.

>thank u for yr answer
>i just feel that without ocx you are always able to control yr program better
>any way thank you very much.
