I recently built a home theater pc, and right now my biggest complaint is that I have to switch to different inputs for my game console and my tv. What I would really like to be able to do is to hook up both my cable box and my game console to my pc, and then have my pc relay the video to the television. If possible I would like to control what output and from which device gets sent to the display, and be able to seamlessly switch between the three of them.
I have seen tv tuner cards and video capture cards, and perhaps these are what I need. I don't particularly need to record or encode anything, I just want the PC be the middle man and the controller. Does such a device exist? Thank you.
