TV on PC Monitor

[Jam]

Would a VCR (used as the TV tuner) combined with a SCART to VGA (or DVI) cable allow me to view analogue TV on the monitor?

Yes, but you'd have to sort out sound obv.

Meaning the analouge frequencies will be opened up for use, they were proposing public internet services through it earlier last year I do believe.

That'd be pretty awesome but I don't think it'd happen tbh, browsing porn on taxpayers money doesn't sound like the sort of thing the government would want :P

North East have it til' 2012 (last place to get it turned off), so for a temporary fix to begin with, 2 years should be long enough before getting a TV.

You should be able to do what you intend to.


I wonder, could you plug in ANY HDMI device (Blu-Ray player, for example) to a PC with an HDMI port? Would it work? (I somehow doubt it would, but you never know...)

You can plug any HDMI device into a MONITOR, don't plug it into your computer.

Sometimes you might have problems with the HDCP encryption though as some monitors don't support it.

Didn't think you could. I really ought to get a HDMI monitor. Or wait till I want a new TV and use the old Samsung xD.
