7600gt / vivo / xbox 360

Post by scj6771 »

Hope this is the right area for this.

Is it possible to hook my XBOX 360 into my 7600GT via the VIVO option which would then allow me to play the 360 on my PC?

My thought is that if my son wanted to play the XBOX and I wanted to watch TV he could do so without taking over the television.

I have the XBOX 360 withthe HDMI option, is there a converter for HDMI to composite/component?

My goal is to be able to swap the XBOX signal between TV and PC? (they are quite a distance from each other but I'm no stranger to cable management) Both my PC monitor and XBOX have HDMI connections.

Originally I wanted to take full advantage of the "VIVO" option on my card but I am open for other suggestions.

Thanks for your time.

I need to be able to play the XBOX and watch TV at the same time.

I do not have cable so I use the XBOX for Netflix and such / HDMI directly from XBOX into TV.

Now that I'm thinking about it, what good is any of this going to do me if my only form of TV watching at the moment is the XBOX, if I send the signal to the PC, I am dead in the water as the PC will have control of my only source of entertainment.

I need to go back to the drawing board.
