Any decent TV tuner card has the following inputs; RF (like for cable tv), S-Video, video composite.

So no matter whatever it is that a game console uses, you should be ok.

 

When you run the TV software that comes with the card you just have to tell it where the video source is. And by default they usually run in windowed mode, but most can go full screen.

 

 

Good price? It would be nice to know what your budget is and in your countries currency.

And if you're not in the USA then a link to a computer parts store that you plan to buy from.

Im in the UK and my budget is around £30-£40 okay thanks for that. It was just that all the pics I looked at only had two inputs were the PS2 has three.

Depending on the angle the pic was taken of the card all you might be seeing are 2 RF inputs. Some cards have 2 because one is for AM/FM radio and the other for TV.

 

My Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert has tv and radio tuners.

 

Leadtek is a good brand of cards and the prices are good. If you can afford it they have a WinFast DTV1000 T which supports HDTV.

For that budget you might not be able to get it, so get the TV2000 XP Expert (yes there is a difference between Deluxe, FM and RM) or the DV2000 or PVR2000.
