Okay /og/, here's my situation. I have a PS3, 360, PSP, DS and a high-end PC. The only current gen gaming device I don't own is a Wii and this is because I don't have a TV (my PS3 and 360 are conencted to my second PC monitor via HDMI). There are a few Wii games I'm interested in, and since Wii emulation is pretty good but not yet flawless I can justify the price of a new Wii but I can't afford a TV to go with it.
Last night I visited an old friend of mine from high school. He has a PC and a PS3, and also the little PlayTV box for his triple. I always wrote this thing off as a shitty HDTV receiver but it occured to me that if I were to buy a component-to-aerial converter I could plug a Wii into a PlayTV box and run the Wii through PlayTV, through the PS3 and onto my monitor.
Obviously, I couldn't imagine this being so simple.
-Does PlayTV delay the signal at all? I'm a PC gamer at heart, I'm going to notive even a few milliseconds of delay between making a movement and seeing it on the screen.
-Does the Wii have a minimum screen size? Both my monitors are 22" widescreen LCDs, will the Wii play up if I'm not on a TV-sized display?
-Does the sensor bar have a minumum operating distance? Obviously I can't sit too far away from my monitor or I won't be able to see anything.
Is there anyone in a similar situation? Anybody tried connecting a console through PlayTV out of curiosity? Obviously it's a lot of money to fork out on something that may not have any use in the end.
tl;dr version: playing Wii games through PlayTV, is it feasible?
