Is there a way to use my 9860 as a monitor for a game system? I have the s-video cable for my Xbox and the 9860 came with that little piece (green, red and blue)that hooks it up, but how do I get it to display on the screen?

The component video adaptor is for TV out (which allows progressive scan video output).

Luke seems to think so

In Luke's review (down almost to the bottom) he reported using it this way with an xbox.

Using the TV tuner we hooked up the Xbox to see how well it performed. We tried both the coax input through AverMedia and the S-Video input hookups Xbox offers. The coax input ran well but was grainy, the S-Video ran well and looked perfect. We noticed no lag:
So I would say "YES"

As far as how... I can't help you there. Send me a 9860 and I'd be glad to figure it out and get back to you though!

I got a game to show up with Avermedia, but couldn't get the sound. I tried switching the plugs around but couldn't get it. I have s-vid,red, yellow, and white on the xbox, and s-vid,red, blue, and green on the 9860. What goes to what?
