Maybe one of these would work.

It could be a external TV tuner or a converter box. Chances are it's a TV tuner since convert boxes aren't that common.

Check Newegg, they have a large selection and they'll have a good price.

Hmm, I don't need Russian prostitutes. I have my own lovely Russian at school. So therefore Newegg has everything.

How good of quality was it? I have a cheap adaptor ($15) and it is pretty bad quality.

EDIT: It's called a VGA box, by the way.
