Unhappy apple cinema 23" display as TV

i'm getting a 23 inch apple cinema display and since I'm getting into college this fall,i would like to be able to use my macbook in and out of the dorm room with my cinema display as extended or mirroring real estate for the laptop.


But I WOULD also like to be able to use it as a TV, and it would not matter if the macbook was connected to the display or not, unlike if u used EYETV (you wouldhave to use the mac.)



so is there a way to do this, I'm struggling with many tv tuners because they dont have any DVI input from the montior.

thanks

seth

So nothing from Elgato fits your need?
