I have NI PXI-5660 Vector Signal Analyzer and Labview 8.2.May I watch TV On PC by using Labview 8.2 and NI PXI-5660 Vector Signal analyzer.Can you provide TV Receiver software as like NI PXI-5660 FM Radio Software.Thanks

Hi Sikandar,

I think the short answer here is YES, you can do it. There is no example program to perform this section.
You can reuse the code from the FM radio software to get the audio from these TV channels. You will then need strong understanding of how is the signal is being modulated which I think is in AM and then you will find the video signal similar to this document.
Once you process these lines, you can convert them to colors (or intensities) and generate the image signal.

On the hardware requirements, your 5660 has a 20 MHz bandwidth and the TV signal has about 6 MHz. Although this is enough, the digital downconverter of the 5620 is only 1.25 MHz  and therefore you will run into problems such as this discussion forum suggest.

Other than this, there are no other hardware constrains. Hope this helps,
