More TV tuner help

mrstrannix · 08-24-2005, 01:32 AM

Hi. Another question about TV tuners available from Dell. Do these devices have ports where you can input component cables? In other words, would I be able to plug in a console game system to my computer through a TV tuner? If not, could anyone suggest a modestly priced alternative to playing a Playstation 2 on a computer? Thanks!

I tried this before but it was too slow. Sony sells a cable that hooks up to your ps2 like normal, but allows you to use your monitor instead of tv. I'm at work and can't get to sony's site right now, but you may want to check it out

I hooked up my Dreamcast to my TV tuner card via coax and the response wasn't slowed down at all.
