TV Tuner Filter

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The TV Tuner filter selects an analog broadcast or cable channel to be viewed. The single output stream is a hardware path for analog baseband video. This output should connect to the Analog Video Crossbar filter. The input pins include an input for cable and an antenna input.
