Hey guys..
So i've got this 19inch lcd monitor..with a dvi and vga input..and i wanna use it as my tv..i went on ebay and purchased a vga to s-video / rca converter and figured id use a vcr i had lying around as my tv tuner..nope! apparently you need something more to conver the rca signal into the vga signal and what the converter is really intended for is sending video out of a vga port into something else..i have a laptop..i know tv tuner cards are like 5 bucks for desktops..and the cheapest i found was 50 bucks..for an external usb tv tuner..is that my only reasonable option..or has someone tackled this problem .. essentially..all i want to do is use my lcd monitor as a tv....
any help would be much appreciated...
thanks in advance..
