    Hi there, bit of an odd question...
    I'm looking for a USB powered TV adapter for my notebook, which I am well aware are plentiful (the Digital TV USB sticks seem great), but what I’m really after is one with a Composite (RCA) video input, I’ve no need for the audio connections. I have a wireless Video receiver that I’d like to be able to hook up to my notebook.

    A Receiver similar to this if it helps: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120017765112

    I’ve browsed Ebay for a while and can’t see anything quite suitable.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Most TV Tuners have a composite (or RCA) in so you can hook up a device apart from your cable (coaxial).

    I own a kword USB tv adaptor, which was 39$ at Fry's, and I am pleased with it.
