My suggestion is buy the cheapest one you can get, and put your money into the best TV you can afford.\n\nThe problem with using a TV as a monitor for a PC is that a STANDARD TV is about equal to a 640x480 VGA screen.  If you go HDTV, you will get significantly better resolution.\n\nBut I don't care is the scan converter says it will do 800x600 or 1024x768, if it's NOT hooked up to an HDTV, you are going to HATE what it looks like.\n\nIf you dont believe me, go try and get some guy at a computer store to demo the unit on a STANDARD (normal, non-HDTV) TV.  First, they probably won't do it, and second, if they do, you will see what I'm talking about...

you need a tv capture card and a cable tv connection, most laptop does not have the tv capture card, so unless you have a dvi socket on your laptop and use a newer digital video player as the interface, there is a slim change that you can watch tv on it.

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

you can use a tuner box. its an external device that you hook up onto your laptop via USB port and it has connections for your cable tv, antenna, vcr, etc. \n\ncheck this out.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815312001

All you need is a card with a video in connection or a TV tuner card. You can find either at most electronic stores. If you happen to have a Media Center PC it most likely has a TV Tuner already installed.

Use a DVI to HDMI converter cable plug the HDMI port to the cable box and the DVI port to the monitor.\n \n   720p HDTV has a resolution of 1280x720 or 1366x768. \n\n   1080p has a resolution of 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

Your laptop would have to have a video output in order to set it up with a TV.  (Either SVideo, RCA)  You could also go the route of using a Scan Converter which runs through your monitor signal as another option.

You need a S-Video to composite cable, assuming you have the yellow white and red inputs on your tv.  You're going to change that you're using a composite cable and not an S-Video cable in your drivers or else it will be black and white or it'll be all pink and weird depending on the laptop and the graphics card.  If you need anymore information feel free to email me.\n\nP.S.

Plug cable into TV card plug and start TV card Software.\n\nIf you have analog cable all channels should appear after scan.\n\nFor digital (set-top box) there is no solution\n\nFor more information RT(F)M

Red is right. To connect cable to your pc you will need to buy a TV tuner. Because you have a laptop you need to buy either a PCMCIA or USB TV Tuner. A PCI one will not work for you. You can go to your local Best Buy,CompUSA or?????\nany other local pc store to buy one. They go for less than $150.00 I recommend the USB TV Tuner, just because it is USB so you can connect it on any desktop that has USB too.\nWhich nowadays more than 90% all do.

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

Use s-video, better picture.\n\nTo hook it up, connect the s-video cable to the s-video port on your laptop. Then the cable to the s-video port on your tv.\n\nUsually you push funtion + f3 or f4 I think to allow the laptop to display on laptop screen, external moniter or both.\n\nTurn the tv channel to AV1 or whatever you plugged it into. It should work.

Install a TV card - if its not on free to air TV, you may have to get Foxtell hooked up as well.
