    I really do not think they would work very well, as there would be a little lag as the card has to connect with the GPU. I would get a VGA to S-Video cable.

    your 1505 has video out capabilities built in.

    are you asking about a tv capture card?

    Check out the Avermedia products. They work very well, and are a quality company.

    You need a tv tuner for that, and the e1505 only has an expresscard slot (successor to the pcmcia card slot, but not many companies have products for it yet).

    id like to know as well seeing how i have the same laptop and looking to capture and watch tv/cable progriams.


    edit: pfrom what i can see, the e1505 has a VGA-out plug(monitor), s-video(7-pin), 4 usb ports, 1394 port, media card reader and the slot with the button on it i guess would be the expresscard slot

    Currently, only HP offers an express tv tuner card. There are plenty of good external USB tv tuner some are even HD capable.
