amoeba_009 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 So my laptop has an HDMI port, and I just bought an Xbox which also has an HDMI port, I figure okay, connect xbox to laptop using the laptop as an output and im set. So I buy the Xbox the games the cable the live card. And i connect away, it dosent work. So i turn the pc off connect the hdmi cable again and put the Xbox on, but as I put the Xbox on the laptop turns on aswell D: at this point I [cabbage] myself. Wait for some time nothing happens turn Xbox off turn laptop on and off a few times to get a bunch of errors out of the way and now im here. With my Xbox being useless. Is there anyway I can get my Laptop to act as an output for my Xbox HDMI ? PLEASE any responces will be much appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm pretty sure that it only works as an output for the laptop itself; you can't use it as a video input. In most cases, you can only display laptops video using a projector, TV, or monitor. If you would like a video input for the laptop you could always buy a USB TV Tuner input box though.

Only output. :( I guess ill have to shop around for a USB TV tuner card. Thanks. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
