Viewing AVR OSD via PC, tuner card best option ?

[cerwinvega]

Hey all.

Most of the advanced functions for my AVR are only accessible via the OSD, and do not display at all on the front panel of the AVR itself.

The AVR manual states that only composite/S-Video may be used to view the OSD, and as this is a dedicated PC setup, I only have VGA or DVI available for direct connection on either monitor.

Would a simple TV Tuner card with an S-Video input work ?

Not that I have found any reason to believe it wouldn't, but, I figured I'd ask first to see if anyone here has any experience with this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.

Should work fine. Alternatively you can get something like this. Probably around the same price either way.
