2001FP Inputs

[RGrossman]

Does the 2001FP have support for watching TV on it? I'd like to be able to watch TV on the LCD but not sure what I need to do so.

Has S-video in and PIP.

Just need a tuner of some sort.

Anyone know where I can get a tuner from?

The Leadtek Winfast on Newegg is supposed to be GREAT. Hauppage used to be good, but I've heard not anymore. . .

Should pay around $30-40 shipped for it. Although, do realize that this is a PCI card which takes coax or s-video and plays TV on your monitor -- so it doesn't use any of the 2001FP's inputs. If you have a TV or cable box nearby, you can use an S-video cable and plug it directly into the monitor. . .

The difference is that with the PCI card, you can capture video (save it to disk), change channels without your tv remote. . . etc etc etc.
