XBox Games and the Sasem OnAir HDTV Tuner

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Here's my situation:

I frequently go to LAN parties where we play both PC games and XBox. Right now, I have an NTSC tuner in my desktop, but the quality is only mediocre when playing XBox and it's a pain to wag my desktop around. I am considering getting a laptop and TV Tuner to solve this mobility problem. I know I could get an NTSC tuner for my laptop, but if I'm going to spend all that money I might as well upgrade. I am considering buying the Sasem OnAir External USB HDTV Tuner. I know that the XBox HD pack has component video ports but I don't think the Sasem has inputs for it. I'm not an HDTV expert, and I am wondering if the signal can get converted to S-Video for input to the Sasem and it still be HD.

So, the short version of my question is this: has anyone/does anyone know if you can play XBox games in HD using the Sasem USB HDTV Tuner?

No reasionably priced TV tuners have component inputs. I have an Avermedia AverTV Cardbus in my XPS and use that to play my PS2. I have it hooked up through S-Video and it looks great (the difference between svideo and composite is huge). But Im like 90% sure thatwith the Sasem USB HDTV Tuner you will be unable to get HD Xbox on your laptop.
