I have a nintendo wii and simply want to connect it to my laptop and use the laptop as a screen to play it on. I have a Dell inspiron 1521 and a dell tv tuner card with the red, white and yellow cable holes. I am using windows vista and windows media center. Does anyone know how to set up the connection. Furthermore, the laptop has bluetooth so the the controller's can hook up. Also, the sony ps2 use the laptop as a tv screen. Help would be extremely appreciated, Nickyl
Those are probably outputs, for hooking the computer up to your tv, instead of inputs. The tv tuner cards usually have those outputs, for connecting to the tv, so you can have a much bigger picture to watch, instead of just watching on the small computer screen. Sorry this wasn't what you wanted to hear...........
I am wanting to do the same thing, only my computer equipment is HP. What nickyl and I are in need of is a program that will display the information from the TV tuner inputs without trying to record it. I've had half success with this process. My laptop came with a HP media program that lets me select the RCA input (the yellow, red and white cables) and I got the Wii menu, but there was a huge delay (1-2 seconds) which made anything completely unplayable. Any clues as to what program would work for us? Thanks in advance

search around for an "XGA Box" ie - google, eBay etc. They are really excellent, I use one myself and they work wonders. Can connect any console - ps2, wii, xbox etc plus has a tv antenna slot for watching tv on your computer. Very usefull, I reccomend it. =)
