Hi there folks. This question may somehow be related to this forum.
I plan to buy an LCD display (round 20") that should serve both as TV and PC monitor; meaning I want to connect it to my PC and to my satellite box.
Now, I know I can purchase a TV card, connect my sat box to its input, and watch TV via my PC. I prefer not to do it, as "it's too complicated" (my kids are the main crowd for this TV), and I don't wanna keep this PC always on.
The other alternative would be buying an LCD display having two input connectors (say DVI & VGA), connecting my PC to the DVI, and connecting my sat box to the VGA. Only problem is that my sat box only has SCART and RCA outputs. So:
1. Is there a way to convert from SCART/RCA to VGA connector?
2. What about the sound? How can I easily switch between my PC and my sat box?
What do you think of this whole scene?
