Hi,
I am from Kolkata and I have a HD set top box provided by GTPL. The STB has HDMI and A/V output (red-white-yellow ports). My TV is connected with the HDMI cable. Now I want to use STB's A/V output to watch TV on my PC as well. I do not have a tv tuner card and I do not with to install one unless there is no other option. Is there any option to connect A/V cable to the USB and watch tv channel on my PC? Only watching tv channel is enough (of course with sound!), recording is no necessary. If it's possible, please let me know how to do it and which things are needed. Kindly also suggest any other option available.

thank you. :)

You could just connect the set top box to your PC monitor via a VGA, HDMI, or DVI cable. Whichever is supported by both.
