The issue is video lag, not network lag. You hit the X button, and then a
week later Ayane kicks her foot up.

This is because the signal has to
be processed, scaled, and then rendered by the video card. Why do all that
extra work when it's so easy to get an upscan convertor and connect your
video output directly to the monitor?

If you're really dead set on using the PVR card, go ahead and use the Xbox
RF output box. You're converting from RGB to Composite video to RF
(combined with audio) that's then split back into the component parts to
be displayed in a window on the PC screen. This way you can get your XBox
output on channel 3 and not have to worry about any extra wiring for the
sound signals too.
