I have a pair eVGA 7800GTXs and they came w/ a nice big ole ViVo dongle. I also have a cable box w/ s-video out - and it just so happens that my ViVo dongle had s-video in. What I am looking for is software that, if I attach the s-video from my cable box to the dongle and the audio from my cable box to my soundcard line-in, I can watch TV in a window on my PC.

Bonus points:

My cable box has a serial port which I have used in the past to change channels (via Tivo) - If anyone knows of a windows xp program that will not only allow me to watch tv, but also change channels on my cable box via a serial connection that would be great!

By the way - I've already installed the WDM VIVO drivers from nvidia. Now I just need software to utilize the devices they drive.

I am looking for something to use like this too, except i'd rather just hook up a game system through the composite in to enjoy games on a very nice monitor :) I've been able to record video from any source hooked up, but that isn't as cool as having something play live.
