I know this is a long shot, but is there any way to hook up a Xbox to my iBook and see the video feed through the iBook?

thx

what kind of delay does the EyeTV create? I can't imagine trying to play a game through any kind of converter. Considering, no matter what you will see a delay from the analog to digital conversion it would be impossible to play anything with quick response times need.

That particular model introduces no delay at all as the box does no compression by default. The web site advertises it for this use, however I have no personal experience with it. I do plan on getting one soon though.
