What program are you using to view the TV input? If it has PVR functionality (pause, rewind etc...) that is probably a big part of your problem. I had a similar delay when watching tv to the point that it made my dish on screen guide worthless so I had to switch to a different program with built in OSG.

If you have the option you can always try turning off all of the pause features, or at least drop the buffer back to nothing.

win media center should work fine. My friend had that problem trying to play games on his computer. He was using a different program but there was a button he clicked on that made it work fine. If it has a pause function like jschelm said then disable that if you can. If you don't know how to do that i'd go to the help for the program or go online and try to find out how to do it.

You might want to try this adapter which lets you plug your box into your VGA monitor.
