    Can I hook up my Playstation2 (RCA outputs) to my AR150G somehow?

    That's a good question. I was wondering how to hook up my xbox 360 to my AR250G. Must be a cable out there.

    S-Video - The AR250 has an S-Video in, so that would be how you do it.

    Yes I realize it has a S-Video In, but how do you use Media Centre to change to Svideo input rather than tuner?

    Sorry I mis-read that post but it doesn't matter because the AR150G also has Svideo-in but how do I switch the video mode in MCE?

    I tried hooking up my vcr to the S-video jack and my Media Center didn't reconize it either. So I recorded using standered jacks.

    I tried messing with it too and couldn't figure it out.

    So, I'll second that question.

    well I hooked up the Svideo in, started MCE and did a manual tv signal setup. It found a Svideo signal, selected it then it wanted to setup the IR for the set-top box so I just quit. I then opened a program such as VirtualDub and set it to get video from the SLIM device and I see the video from the svideo, but cannot change video inputs. Oh well, I guess I will fall back to my external USB tv tuner =/
