How to Connect a PC TV Tuner to a TV
A PC TV tuner is a card installed in a computer system that enables the computer to receive and display television programming. Although you can connect a cable, satellite or antenna receiver directly to a PC TV tuner, you can hook up a television directly to the tuner as an alternative. This allows you to watch the same programming as on the TV. It is also helpful if you don't have an extra receiver available and you don't want to purchase or pay an installation fee for additional hardware.
