Playing Wii through Media Center

My computer is the HP Media Center computer with the A/V plugs and HDMI plugs and such and I was wondering if I could play Wii on my monitor in the same way I watch TV in Media Center?

If not, is there another program that would let me send the wii's A/v signal straight through to the monitor?

Yes and no. You could probably hook up the Wii to the computer and it would probably run. The problem is with "Media Center" computers in general is that they use a TV tuner to display TV input, which usually have a delay from real-time and when the picture is displayed on your monitor.

When you're watching TV, you never notice this because you can't really tell that it's delayed by a second or so. When you're playing a game, though, it really messes with your coordination, because the buttons you press don't register until a second later. But who knows, maybe your media center doesn't have this delay. Try it... only one way to find out.
