[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 348384, member: 24160"] I assume you are speaking about the EyeTV hybrid since you have mentioned over the air HDTV. The best input you will get from an external video device is 480i through s-video. Composite should never be used when s-video is available. It will be worse. There is no device available that will allow you to connect component nor HDMI to a computer. The manufacturers are all afraid of the movie industry who do not want us to have the ability to record HD content. To do what you want will require doing as I do, and that is using an HDTV so that can connect your computer, satellite, 360, etc. to a single screen. Of course this means you will not be getting as nice a resolution when on your computer, but that's the trade-off. Have been told that Dell now has a computer monitor with either component or HDMI connections for other devices, but have not checked it out myself. [/QUOTE]
