Okay, thank you, Fonceur. I've used s-video before but I am confused on how to get audio or what audio options one has. I suppose if you have a A/V receiver you can use rca audio cables from the set top box to the A/V receiver then to speakers? But, what if you just want to do it the simple way first (w/o receiver)? I just want to output through either the tv or the computer speakers (shouldn't that be the most simple?)? My capture card only has a line in (PVR 150) so I don't know what you mean when you list RCA audio cables for the capture card. ???

I assume I won't have sound when using the DVI/HDMI method so I need to use the red/white RCA cables but I'm not sure where to hook those up.
