    Hi, I finally got my TV Tuner working through media center, and now it shows my Wii when I press view live TV, but there is a 2 or 3 second lag to everything I do. Is there any way to fix it? Also, the video comes out as 4:3, when my laptop's screen is 16:10. Is there any way to make it wide?

    I got something called dscaler, an open source media center. It plays games just fine, with a noticeable lag, but nothing as bad as media center. It's still playable, and the only reason I asked in the first place is because I want to record some footage for sonic unleashed and call of duty waw. However, the audio is off sync, kinda puts off my game. Don't know how to fix that yet. If anyone knows another way to record gameplay with a TV tuner or through some other way, please post.

    Avermedia NanoExpress Hybrid TV tuner. It's funny, because there were no disks or software included when I bought it from dell, and the media center that Avermedia provides for download at its website can not even recognize its own product..
