RE: TV On Computer and Computer on TV



Thanks Noel,

I have VGA and HDMI on my monitor and VGA, SCART, HDMI and Composite on the
TV.

I don't mind about in a window or taking over the whole monitor.

If I went the TV card route, can I use the Cat 5 cabling to get to the
aerial as I would have to run new cable otherwise.

Regards
Pete
