    Hey guys.

    I recently bought a G2 Notebook. Its okay so far, but thing is Im moving to Uni soon and my dorm room is tiny, so I decided I'd use my notebook as a TV too for my xbox 360, just to save space and a little bit of money.

    Now, I'm aware that ASUS has a programme called ASUS Mobile Theater. Which I managed to find on:

    www.asustreiber.de

    Its downloaded and I've connected the RED WHITE YELLOW wires to this convertor cable I got with my notebook, then into the notebook. Then I loaded up Gears of War, and I can hear the sound coming from the game, but I just cant see a thing and have no idea why.

    Anyone know whut Im doing wrong?

    I'm open to other ideas too, like getting a TV tuner or whutever - anything to get this to work lol.

    Thanks for reading.

    - Tam.

    Ahh, see I've read about TV tuners and etc, but I don't know whether or not I actually need one - I can play the sound properly, just can't see the video. I dunno if I need to install a driver or fix of some sort - or if my notebook generally does need a TV tuner.
