so, anyone know anything about TV capture cards?

For Xmas, I received an MSI TV@nywhere plus card.

Today, I tried splitting my coax cable and running a line into the CATV input. I now have a decent TV picture on my PC, but no audio at all. Since coax cable carries audio and video signal, I'm a bit puzzled as to why I have no audio. There is also an "audio in" connector but I'm not sure how to get a separate audio signal to connect to the card.

Granted, I could come out of the AV connectors of a VCR into the card but if I am correct, then I would have to change channels on the VCR, rather than the PC. I'd rather be able to change them from the PC.

Anyone have any ideas? The company support website and the documentation that came with the card are absolutely no help.
