Maybe this would be a good solution for me, better than old garbage which won�t work... All i want is to use my old 7200 with a TV card - if you saw my old posts, you might remember this card causes problems in my S900. I have too much electronic waste lying around and want to get rid of it. I�ve spent 5 Euro (around $ 4,50) for the Philips and it wouldn�t be a big loss to waste it. A MoniSwitch sounds to me like when i want to watch TV, i simply push a button and get the 7200�s screen. Am i expecting too much? Will it be very expensive ? Can i use one from a PC dealer ? Still helpless,
