The tv tuner card will basically work live the tuner inside of a standard television set.  So if you can plug a TV into your cable without a box and get reception, then you can do the same with your TV tuner card on your computer.  It will not require any monthly fees other than what you pay to your cable company for service.    Whatever program you decide to view the TV signal with will download the tv guide data from the internet and then you are set to go.  I've never used Media Center before, but you will probably have to do a little setup as far as who your cable provider is and what channels you recieve, but after that you are good to go.

You can get a card for your computer that has an adapter that you can put the cable line on.  The adapter should come with the software that you will need to watch cable tv on your computer.  The cable line can be ran through a vcr and then to the adapter and that way you can either watch tapes or straight from the cable.

My Tivo has a splitter which can record 2 shows at the same time.  Most cable boxes with the DVR recorder is capable of doing that.\n\nJust ask for multiple input or go to radio shack for a splitter.

Yes, as long as you have a free PCI slot you can get a Mac compatible TV tuner card.  This was the only one I could find, http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?store=macmall&dpno=381497&source=ZWB12091&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=09-5580730-2&adcampaign=email,ZWB12091&wt.mc_id=ZWB12091 there may be others but this was the only one that came up in searches from a reputable store.

Plug in Tv Tunner card and cable wire. Or simply search for some website that shows your channels.

First, your computer must have been built to be able to be a TV receiver.  My computer is only two years old but cannot be a receiver.  If your comp can get TV, you will need to buy a special part, any computer shop will be able to help you on that.  Good luck

Why don't you just go out to the box and hook it up. Only takes a flat head screwdriver. If the cable man comes over, just unhook it from your tv, saying "I don't know what you're talking about."

Normally no.  You can purchase a TV Tuner card for your PC for under $50, some for under $30.  Then you can hook up either a cable TV connection, or a air broadcast antenna.  \n\nDoing this you'd also be able to record to your computer.  some of the programs allow you to do many of the things Tivo does.\n\nAvermedia and Hauppauge both make excellent TV Cards.

There is a program called TVU player which allows you to watch cable channels and regular channels. They are mostly US channels such as NBC and CNN but there are also a few channels such as ten on there. Im notsure if 9 is on there but they are adding more channels on there everyday so check it out. BTW the quality is quite good on TVU\nGo to google and search "download TVU player"
