PiP Problems!

Question

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if this answer is obvious, but I've looked everywhere and found nothing... First off, I have a 2407FPW 24 inch wide screen. I've been trying to get this working by plugging in a s cable from my monitor to the back of my TV, think that my TV would display on my monitor, but it doesn't seem this way. Is there something that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

Shadow sorry if this is dumb, but have you confirmed that the socket on the back of the TV is an output? Maybe it's an input? Regards D

Heh,
just a little while ago I found out that it's not output, seems like my TV doesn't have it :\
I was able to get it working on my DVD player though. Are there any other ways, besides getting a new TV to get this to work?

If you have a vcr or a dvd recorder or similar, just use the video output from one of those. For a vcr, it's more likely to be the yellow composite video connection.   If you don't have the above, I guess you could get a second hand  / spare vcr pretty cheaply nowdays.   I guess a more high-tech way would be with a digital set top box.   D

yeh buy a HDTV tuner card for your PC, you can get USB ones also, and that would be my preference when the time comes for me to buy one. they are not expensive now and you can also record hdtv to your pc :D AWESOME!   DOH! scratch what i said, you have a PIP problem, im still half asleep, but get a tuner card anyways they cool :D Message Edited by ArchAnge1 on 10-20-2006 12:05 AM
