Can you connect your console onto your tv tuner card and play video games on it?

Basically you are playing XBOX360 and the "tv" would be the laptop monitor?

Hiya Ren,

Yes and No.
That Hauppuage might work but it is a lightweight device which means options are at a minimum. Bjorn is correct about the gaming resolution with that thing.

To do what you want, you need a device that can take control of your onboard graphics without opening the laptop.
The device for this job will be a USB 2.0 Console Adapter or a even USB 2.0 Console Adapter with a built in PVR/DVR TV Tuner box. They both function almost identically and are priced low. I don't like to buy from Amazon, but they are good for user reviews and photos.
This is what you need, search E-Bay or your favorite online merchant (geeks.com / newegg.com /frys.com etc..) to find the best deal. They run $10 to $150. Read the reviews!!

Also, I did not see mention of HD resolution but I can add that higher quality units are available. For a standard laptop with a 17" or smaller screen, this will be no problem. If you want a higher quality unit do a yahoo search using the phrase, " USB 2.0 XBOX ADAPTER".

You get what you pay for but then my Toyota does not need a Nitrous Kit!!

All hail the XBOX!!


GOOD LUCK!!
Yes, you could do it.

The issue is that the resolution will only be as high a quality as the device you have it hooked up to.

So if you buy a standard resolution TV tuner and try to hook the Xbox up to it, you cannot expect to get HD resolution on the monitor.

You would have to buy a HD Tv tuner.
