    The only Expresscard Tuner I can find is the HP one. (Its only for HP comps and a few Compaqs.) Does anyone know of one that will work in my G1S?

    This should work... it says that it's Vista compatible/ready. I used AverMedia's PC Card products in the past to use in an XP installation.

    Are you sure it won't work with the G1s, I thought it worked in all notebooks with an ExpressCard slot.

    I suggest the Avermedia one, especially considering it is affordable and has Linux support.

    The quality is quite good, but don't expect too much. Might be just bad signal in my country though.

    Would that also support just plugging in an xbox per say? Like does it have just a live pass through?

    It has "Dongle Input Connectors (S-Video, Composite Video, Left & Right RCA audio)", as stated here. What is the output of an xbox? Composite video with left & right RCA audio?
