• Answer:

  yep theres one way to do, which is what i have done. I purchased a box of amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gadmei-TV5830-Build-Video-Monitors/dp/B000RNTZD8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1222763285&sr=1-2 Think this is the one but if you look for simaler items u might get one better. Basically, ive connected my pc to the monitor via DVI. ive now got a spare vga connection on my monitor. Ive connecteed my freeview setbox to the above box from amazon via scart to composite cables and my 360 via vga. ive then got a vga cabe running from the box to my monitor. You also need a set of speakers to connect the 360 to. I can now use my pc, watch tv and play my 360 through my monitor. Theres a button on my monitor that changes viewing options from digital to analogue. I can download /use my pc, press this button and play a game on my 360 while pressing this button again to back to my pc. I think this is the best/easist option for you. If its just for a pc/360 then you dont need this box, just plug pc into one connection an 360 into the other. Also, this box as got a freeview receiver built in and speakers, but they are rubbish.... i struggle to get a picture and the sound is awful. apart from that the box does what i need it to do.
