    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

    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 ?

    same here , pc connected via dvi xbox with vga so its easy to swich between the 2, pc is wireless so i have ics enabled on that connection so didnt need to get a wireless adaptor for the 360 just plugged it in to the pc's ethernet card.
