My friend just got a Dell PC and the monitor has DVI and VGA ports. She wants to hook her DirectTV up to the computer so she can watch HDTV on her 16x9 monitor. However, the monitor only allows one connection at a time (i.e., you cannot use VGA then switch to DVI), so she’d have to be plugging and unplugging the cables constantly.

Is there a way, via video card or something, that should could connect her cable box (with an HDMI out) to her PC and control the display?

Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks!
