Question [recommendation] USB TV Tuner with HD support for hooking a PS3 up?


Hi,

I think the subject title says it all, but well... that's what I would like to do, to buy a TV tuner with support for HD resolution (although I'll be working with a 15.6" 16:9 1366x768 display, laptop one) to hook up a PS3 and not having to spend some extra cash on a display (ideally).

Can anyone give me a hint on this? The only 'premise' I ideally pursue is for the device to fully work, I mean... fuck DVB-T per se, I'm not interested in TV reception, just to put the A/V signal out of the PS3 and onto the tuner and use a program like tvtime (ideally), but something that can work reliably (even if I have to grab a tarball or a cvs/svn/git tree and compile it myself, as I use a custom-made+deviated CLFS/LFS distro, I'm more than accustomed to compile everything by hand).

Any recommendation?

Thanks in advance,
Julio

A DVI-HDMI cable might work if you have a DVI input on your monitor.
