Hey everyone. Its been awhile- I've been over the pond all summer, but still reading the forums on a weekly basis...



Anyway.



I'm looking into getting the new apple 20" sometime in the possibly near future (hopefully). I'd like to use it as a TV also. Is this possible? I know that I can hook up something like an eyeTV to my powerbook and then use that, but I have one problem. I LIKE TO USE MY GAMECUBE!



I hear that there are notorious delays with the firewire/USB tuners that make them unacceptable for gaming.



Is there a DVI TV Tuner that I could get somewhere or another solution I could use?



Thanks a ton.

    you just need something that goes from the desired video signal to a male dvi connector, then plug the female dvi connector that is attached to your display into the male end of the converter. (i'm assuming converters like that are sold.)

    edit: I think this will work.

    Well- I ended up ordering the EyeTV USB refurb from elgato- it was only $129 and came with the free remote...worth a shot I guess.



    I hear the new 1.5 software isn't 1/2 bad either.



    Anyone have one of these and can post a sample of video?
