Hi, I have a 2nd V+ box (on Tivo VIP package) but I can't afford to spend a lot of money on an extra TV or sound system (just had another huge unexpected financial outlay so it'll have to wait a while I'm afraid). It seemed a waste to decline the extra box though, and now that I have it I might as well try to use it in the cheapest possible way 
I would like to be able to connect it to my PC's monitor. The V+ only has scart, HDMI and optical whereas my monitor has 2 DVI and no speakers. I've tried an HDMI to DVI converter but it doesn't show anything on screen when I do that (and that wouldn't have solved the sound issue had it worked anyway).
Is there a TV type card that I can buy to connect it to and hear it through my soundcard and view it on my monitor? I don't care re HD for now (that'll have to wait until the finances pick up again) although I'd like to use the V+ record/pause etc functions - only want to be able to use this as a second option if the OH is watching sport
I wasn't sure where to post this, it sort of falls between PC stuff and Home Entertainment. Thanks in advance for any advice/ideas!
