EyeTV Hybrid also comes with a break-out cable for composite video and S-Video, enabling you to connect a set-top box for premium channels, digital cable or satellite.

That'll do what I want, no?

Do you want to be able to output video?

I'd go with something like this over the EyeTV thingy, personally. (Looking at the breakout cable here, I only see unbalanced audio and S-video, which is fine, but it's not exactly what they say it is.)

Do you want to be able to output video?

No, except to a TV, which I already do via the DVI monitor output.

I'd go with something like this

Ooh, thanks Jessica. That looks pretty good! And I hadn't seen a close-up of the EyeTV breakout cable; I agree that it's more lame than advertised.

Thanks! That is what I want to do -- I will save as a .wav (once I get the proper converter) and burn and delete.

I need electricity advice. I'm wiring in a new ceiling fixture. The fixture has a green ground wire, and the existing box and support has a green ground wire wired to a green grounding screw. I cannot, to save my life, make the fixture's grounding wire stay under the damn green screw. This is mostly due to the laughable statement, "attach grounding wire to grounding screw while holding the fixture in your other hand." Can I just put the two green wires together with a wire nut?

Can I just put the two green wires together with a wire nut?

Yes. As long as the ground eventually connects to the box, you'll be shock free.

Also, be sure to cut the red wi-- no, the green one!!

Sorry....

I think that every time I wire something.

I'm going to work under the assumption that the green wire is grounded to something, because it's called "grounding wire." I realize that logic is a way of going wrong with confidence.

Do you know what "sheets" are on a sailing ship?

Nope, not the sails. The ropes.
