O.K. So I recently bought an Asus Vk246h 24inch monitor. Now since I have a really crappy old Quasar rear projection television in my room, I'd like to chuck that and use my monitor for tv. I already have my Xbox 360 hooked up to the monitor via HDMI. Now, I have Verizon Fios for my televesion provider. With the whole digital tv crap, I have a little converter box, not the whole big box that has the menu and everything. Just a simple converter box that converts the digital signal to analog I believe.
Whats the best way of going about getting the tv to the monitor. Should I buy a TV tuner for my computer and hook it up that way? How do TV tuners even work? Is it as simple as installing the card, and then hooking up the cable to the card, and I have TV through my computer? Or since I have the box, can I just take the cable from the box directly to the monitor?
I know thats a lot of questions, but I guess the simplest way of asking is, how do i get TV to play through my computer monitor?
Thanks
