Guys

I've been looking at some adaptors to allow me connect my xbox 360 to my PC's monitor, around 60 quid STG, but something occured to me and before I try it I'd value your feedback

I have a Pinnacle TV card, not installed, if I install it and then connect the xbox into it, could I have the feed from the xbox as a channel in the TV software ?

I think so, provided you use the Xox RF cable which will degrade the picture quality hugely, but it is theoretically possible

Havent time to try it this week will do it next week when I install my new graphics card,

Let you know how i get on

Why not use something like this?

Thanks a mil

reason i was trying the other route was that i didn't want to have to hand out nearly € 100 for a switch box.

Know anywhere you can buy them in a shop ? Peats ?

Any game shop should have them. Game in Henry St definately have them.
