Yes you definitely need a TV tuner for television channel reception in your PC

yes - either an external USB tuner, or an internal PCI tuner - OR a PCMCIA TV tuner for a laptop - or some AGP video cards in desktops have TV tuners built in - either way - you need the hardware to view video signals on your PC

Just about every answer posted here is correct. Now when you do go looking for the tv tuner card, you may also want to consider upgrading the memory on the computer. Most people that watch tv on the computer are multitasking ( working with different programs at once) and this takes up memory. Also read the requirements on the tv tuner card and the software that comes with it carefully. Make sure it is compatible with your computer.\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?cat=1423&keywords=tv%20tuner%20card&noredirect=1

Do you have access to highspeed internet?  If so you can install a wireless router and get some wireless cards (if your PC does not already have one).  If you do not have access to broadband, Directv offers it, but it is very expensive.

There are no known security issues with TV tuner cards ... all they basically do is convert a tv signal to a digital signal and vise versa ...

You can use a PCIMCA card based TV-Tuner card. \n\nYou can also use an external TV-tuner card to access Cable TV.\n\nTry Pinnacle Cards - they are good.

Well, dunno if the channels you want are in their lists but there are alot of programs that allow you to get live feed without the need for a tv card.\nFor example: TVUPlayer\n\nThere are lots of these programs. Just make an internet search for "internet tv".

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.

You need to install a TV tuner card in your PC.  Once you have that done, you can run the cable box to your PC the same way you run your cable box to your TV (Coaxial, S-Video, etc... If you find the right combo for the hardware you have, you can probably run both from the same digital cable box.).  The software that comes with your tuner card will allow you to view television shows on your PC.
