Re: [mythtv-users] Connecting videogame console to frontend

[Richard Bronosky]

They are harder to find, but there is are switches that don't require you to push any buttons.  The switch monitors the sources and switches to the newest activated source.  This really takes the switch hassle out of it.  Power on the xBox and it's on the screen.  Power it off and you are back to MythTV.  Nice.

I have a dedicated master backend with a PVR-500 and PVR-250 in the garage, and a front-end only machine in the living room, connected to the TV via S-Video. I also have an xbox video game console. Since my TV has only one S-Vidio input (and I don't want to use a switch), I would like connect the console to the myth front-end, and switch back and forth via mythtv. Could I accomplish this by adding a capture device with an S-Video input to the front-end? Would I have to configure it as a slave back-end? I don't at any point intend to record from this device, and I don't want it to be buffered either. Radio shack sells video switchers for very cheap, why not just do it, well, the right way?
