    Does anyone know of a devise preferably usb or laptop friendly that takes in component and YPbPr input along with an antenna (for standard tv through the air) and allow me to watch tv and my gaming console on my laptop screen. i know there are separate devises that can only do some of these, but does anyone know of any devises that can do all of the above things?
    -Cheers and thanks

    Is there one that supports and HMDI import? or VGA import? I would really like higher quality than a simple component cable provides... although I'm not complaining! thanks

    Yes that would work... but damn it is expensive! I could just buy a really nice LCD Monitor for about the same price
