just take your tv you pu$$y, i didnt get a tv license when i was at uni and no one came round asking me if i had one,

even if license inspectors come round you dont have to let them in tell them to F off and get a warrent, then and only then do you go and buy a license

and yes you can connect a cube to a pc monitor you need a VGA box

You know the composite AV cables you have with your GC? Well, the box has ports for these, so don't worry.

Will you look at that, my auction price has shot up to £82.

and i have another question about these VGA boxes from venom and logic3; what do you do about sound? can you plug PC speakers into a GC and/or the VGA box, or do you have to buy one of those console speaker sets (which is £30 i would rather buy a game with, or keep)?

I ask because it's either my 11 month old 17 inch TFT or a 6 year old 14 inch televideo - which is also in our conservatory so i freeze my ass off for half the year in there...or the 29 inch which i wouldnt get a look in on.

thanks for the help :)

Buy a TV Card for your pc, you will be able to watch tv and plug your gamecube into it. Also, no tv licence because you have no tv :D

it's annoying. They send you streams of warning letters.

Never having been to Uni, I didn't even think about having to buy a TV Licence.

BId on this dude:

You can connect your PS2, GC, Xbox, whatever to the monitor and play on it from there...also has a TV tuner which can conveniently dodge detection, though you don't have to use it if you don't want to. Usually sold at £120, now £51 at the mo.

Not sure how it works but I know you need a 'VGA box' cosing between
£30-£70

You can buy them here I think.
