| As Chris said you can't do that with MCE. But you could get an analogue
| card with some 3rd party software, that importantly, doesn't encode the
| video (therefore removing the delay).

| I've got a Nebula DigiTV with an analogue input in my regular XP Pro box I
| use to hook the Xbox up when somebody is hogging the TV, the quality is far
| from great but it's playable. I'm not however sure on what would happen if
| you put in a TV card that doesn't have MCE compatible drivers into a MCE
| box.
