Play xbox on Regular PC monitor

Demon-Seed:
Hi
My new place is small and I am considering using my PC as a PC and tv. I would like to connect XBOX to it and be able to play etc, and want to watch tv but have questions.
Is there a tv tuner card that will let me directly connect xbox to a regular PC monitor? I see devices that says VGA monitor whats the difference?? I see these box things that let you do this? please explain

If there is a tv card which one? one that will connect xbox via the rcas or svideo....? do I have to set my monitor to a specif mode?

With the tv tuner card can i have a remote? does one come with a remote or something instead of using the mouse to change channels? Any information into this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jim

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder card. It comes with a TV tuner on-board and a remote. If your monitor is reasonably large, it'll make a decent TV and DVR. It has an RG-59 cable-TV type input.

It has a breakout box that accepts composite and s-video input. I suppose you could connect your Xbox to that. I'd be interested to hear how well it works. Xbox has no VGA-output so you'll have to connect it via S-video or similar.

I only use mine a generic video card for regular PC stuff and PC games. I watch some TV in a window while I work sometimes. That's as far as I've pushed it.

Good luck!
