I know it can be done, but what do I need? A TV tuner card? It needs to have RCA input, right? Are there any nVidia cards with this? Can I use an nVidia graphics card, and an ATi TV tuner card together? Are there any under $50, or even better, under $30? Thanks for any help!
Yes, tuners will do the Job. I recommend using an internal tuner if possible. And price wise just remember, you get what you pay for. I bought an Dell Angel USB tuner recently and it's great except I can't get the darn computer to use the a/v inputs. So make sure you read up on the product so you won't be dissapointed. Of course I know a way around my problem, I just have to connect through a VCR with A/V inputs. But I wish I could get the product to work as designed. Anyways that's my 2 cents.
Awesome! Thank you!
That reminds me, I should put my xBox back up on my desk and get my RCA to headphone converter.
Would this do it?

Edit: Actually, can anybody suggest a good one that I could hook my XBox up to that runs on Linux, specifically Ubuntu? I just noticed the one I posted doesn't have Linux as a supported desktop, and since this will be going in a primarily Linux-based computer, I need it to work under Linux and Windows.
for windows yes most likely it'll do, linux? I haven't the foggiest.
That would really work? Don't you need at least the yellow and white connecters? Is that what the blank connecter is?
Also, how does this work together with my video card?
And I just realized something: None of the video cards on Newegg say that they are supported in Linux. So I think if I get a TV tuner, I'm not going to worry about that. Unless someone here thinks I should.
Actually if you want a method that doesn't rely on a computer, meaning no worries for linux compat., (i assume youre not planning on capturing the video from an xbox) get a Component to VGA adapter like X2VGA, the just forward that into a KVM so you can share your monitor with a PC.

I know some people who use it and it works for them very nicely. Not to mention this has better quality.
My 2¢.
either could work... the card you mentioned is like I said, you get what you pay for but it has a standard video input, the sound may only plug in one port but it should work. The other idea cheztir could really work well for you, maybe it isn't too expensive.
Buy a TV Tuner. I personally suggest the Radeon All In Wonder series, those are top of the line video cards, and have tv tuners.
Then go to you're local Ebgames and Gamestop, pick up the RCA cable for the xbox. Simply plug that sucker in, and turn the xbbox on.
