TV/cable/freeview on monitor?

[lolage]

Hi,

I want to ditch my old TV for another monitor as I think it would improve my workflow - however I would want to use one of the monitors sometimes for a TV.

Are there any solutions for this? I don't have the room/budget for monitors & a new TV!

Cheers

HD freeview box then HDMI into the monitor from the freeview box?

Depends what inputs your monitor has.

1 x Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
1 x DisplayPort (DP)
1 x Video Graphics Array (VGA)

Those are my connections! My monitor is a Dell U2311H.

Assuming your PC connects using the Displayport you should be able to connect a HDMI device using a HDMI-> DVI adapter, but then you need to sort out the sound.

What type of speakers/amp do you have?

This, have it on the iPad and desktop, so useful to literally 'catch up' on TV that's on

TV card, no need to mess around with connections.
