    I would get an AIW, but since this will be on a primarily Linux machine and Linux and ATI don't mix so well (or it's at least makes more work than I want to go through to get it working good) I want something that won't be terribly hard to configure.

    cheztir, that box looks nice, but sadly, anything over about $40 is too much for my budget.

    I will probably buy a TV tuner card soon (meaing in the next month hopefully) and I will try to get it working on my current Linux machine. If it doesn't work, I will just have to use XP since I plan on dual-booting just not using XP for much other than games.

    But thank you for all the help everyone!

    I recommend Diamond brand for tV Tuners. I have one from them, I would have to give them 9/10, Although they do break easily.

    The xbox cable should be around $20 if I am correct.

    Do I need another? I still have the one from when I bought it but is there a special one that I need for a TV tuner?

    I will look into Diamond then, since that's the only recommendation I have.

    Yes, I guess you can go with that one. Also here is the cable you need.

    XBox 360? I only have the old one, so will that work? Also, what is the point of that cable?

    They make direct Xbox to VGA cables, no adapters.

    They do? Where do you buy them, like Newegg or or a game website?


    Edit: Does anybody know if the cable for the Xbox and Xbox 360 are the same? The one for hooking it up to a tv I mean. Because I can find Xbox 360 to VGA cables, but I can't find any for regular Xboxs.

    I've seen better ones before but this is the best one I could find now:

    Xbox VGA Box
    http://www.builderdepot.com/browse.i...dstoreid=2991#

    but you can just search froogle.com for: xbox vga -360
    you have to put the "-360" so it excludes Xbox 360 VGA cables which everyone makes...
