Heya

Im just wondering if I purchase a PCMCIA TV Tuner Card, would the xbox lag or not. Because some people have said that it would and some people said that it wouldnt. I just dont wanna fork out more money for a tv at uni.

Cheers

Ben

well it shouldn't. its no different from a standard tv with regards to the tuning circuitry.

I don't see how it could. The XBOX is constantly sending out the signal, but there is nothing being sent to the XBOX which would possibly slow it down. Go for it.

When i tried linking up my xbox to my pc via tv tuner, it wouldnt work. Something to do with resolution....or refresh rates, or something elsse like that. Either way, the connection was lost.
