Any body got one of these?
If so any problems with it.
The reason I ask is that I have my PC running though the TV so cant watch TV at the same time. Thinking of getting another PC monitor but want the option to put TV or PC onto either screen.
Or is there a better option. TIA :y

I've got 3 freeview receivers in my PC which is connected to my TV. I can watch tv and record programmes on the pc like a Sky box.
I use a tv amplifier with 3 outputs for the signal.
Maybe you could get a graphics card with 2 DVI outputs.
I hope this helps but I wasn't totally sure how you wanted to set yours up?

I use Windows Media Centre for watching and recording TV. It's very good and works a bit like a Sky box.

This would be the best option, as there is negotiation between the PC and the TV to set the resolution, so a "dumb" splitter might cause problems unless the 2 displays are identical. It also gives the advantage that you can put your desktop onto one screen play a video through the other, and so on.
You could, of course, get a video card with HDMI outputs too.

With my setup you can watch tv, while recording 2 programmes and use the web etc all at the same time using one tv.
sorry about the picture quality.
