TV Streaming from an Analog PC TV Tuner Card to XBMC
Open up VLC and select FILE - OPEN CAPTURE DEVICE - DIRECT SHOW TAB
Click on ADVANCED OPTIONS
and you will see that the top line is already completed
the rest of the details are for an analogue TV Card (Philips SAA7134 PAL - UK)
Fill in the details - I have chosen BBC 1 for test purposes
Once completed click on OK to return to the Direct Show Tabbed page
On this page now tick - STREAM/SAVE and click on SETTINGS
The TARGET line will automatically be completed for you
Select HTTP and then use your PC's IP address
I have used this particular PORT number as my ISP blocks 80 and 8080 (used for HTTP)
Port 8008 is an unofficial PORT used by IBM Servers, more info on PORTS can be found here:

My choice of Encapsulation/Codec was simply based on what I thought my console's hardware could playback.
(For demonstration purposes use these settings to ensure you have video and audio playback - you can mess around with these later for your personal preference)
Click on OK to finalise and return to the Direct Show Tabbed page
Now click on OK at the bottom of the page and hopefully your TV card's Properties will appear
Simply click on OK to move onto the next dialog box
I have used these settings again for demonstration purposes (change them to your preference later)
Click on OK to proceed
For demonstration purposes - BBC 1 has been chosen (change them to your preference later)
