Re: [KAT5] Using a TFT Monitor

Hi Robert,

If you're monitor has no receiver built-in then I think you have two
options:

1. Buy a TV tuner card for your PC that will accept a composite or S-video
connection (whichever you are using) and obviously the audio both taken
from the Kat5 receiver. Then you can watch TV on your PC in a window or
full screen etc.
2. If you wanted to use the monitor just like a TV i.e. not have to have
your PC on you would need something like a progressive scan box that can
take a composite/s-video connection and output to SVGA which you're monitor
can understand. I'm not recommending it but something like a 'PV200
PROGRESSIVE SCAN TV CONVERTOR' from keene.co.uk (http://www.keene.co.uk/system/keene.htm
and do a search for a PV200) sounds like what you are after.

I know this will have a simple answer but I can't quite get my head
round it. How would I use a TFT monitor (ie with no receiver) from a
PC with KAT5 to display my cable TV?

Thanks,

Robert
