This is how it will work you add device into computer (see resources) in which you can plug Tv cable and will watch tv on your monitor while having control over computer , Watching tv will be same as it can be on ordinary computer ,also can save money lets say you have good LCD monitor and want to avoid buying whole new TV which you can by adding Tv card.

Step 3
An internal tv cardInternal Tv Card :- internal type of tv device/card is cheaper worth of buying as compare to accessibility they will provide ,For example you can get "Sabrent TV Tuner / Video Capture / MPEG Recording PCI Card with Remote Control" a tv card for just only $17(see resources) ,which is pretty cheap in terms of buying whole tv .

Step 4
External Tv Card:- pretty much does the same thing except will not be installed inside but will plug into the computer ,cost more than internal card like $50 to $100 but gives advantage that you can set it up somewhere where you want it also can buy wireless version to really get away with wiring,ah the technology ,Read resources for how to make every thing wireless , so still do the same thing .
