Hello Just out of curiosity, I have seen guys using a computer monitor as a TV.Without a cpu. How do the do this? James

All you need is the CRO (Cathode-ray oscilloscope and thats what the Old TV uses. Then Insert a TV card in the computer and connect. Direct the output to the CRO Not so hard i guess On 4/15/09, James Mutuku <listmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:
