TV to VGA Monitor input

[Chickenman]

Is there a such adapter or cable which will convert the video output from the TV into a vga? I want to watch tv on my monitor and was wondering.
Thanks.

The only thing that would be effective for tv viewing on a pc is a tv tuner card where you could connect an rca 75 ohm cable from something like a vcr or cable box. There are a number of those available. A video capture device often can be used as well. There are both pci and usb devices for this. Take a look over some different types. http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/4566-8903_16-0.html http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=1427

Hook this up to your dvd player with a component output and watch tv through it.

Quite often here a pci slot card for video capturing can be used for viewing live broadcasts by either the RCA phono type video input or 75ohm jack for cable. http://www.aver.com/2005home/product/tvtuner/pci/1500mce/1500mce.shtml
