I could be wrong, but I do not believe you can do this with a TV.  However, I've known people that can do what you ask with an Xbox and, in-turn, create a PC out of it.\n\nDepending on how you do it will vary on what device you're trying to connect your external HD to.  The internet is full of resources on how to do this or what others have done that have worked for them.\n\nUnfortunately this is the best answer I can give you.

If the PC has a TV card installed with S-video port then this is no problem. If not then connect via coax like mine.\nI have a freeview box connected to mine.\nJust change channels on the freeview but watch on the PC.

You need to get a TV Tuner card.

Honestly, I don't think there is a way for you to do it without some type of video card input for the laptop.  You could use a USB video capture device like this:  http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_usb.html  But they usually have a delay of a second or two from the input to your monitor which isn't good when playing video games.  (You don't want any delay at all actually.)  You also won't get full resolution either.  You're really just better off just playing on a television.

You will need a TV tuner card, and more likely, a RF adapter to turn your RCA video into coax compatible.\n\nThen, just run your coax into your PC tv tuner card, and you should see video.

Funny, because I just did some research on this tring to hook up my PS2. Anyway, you can just buy a VGA converter. They should be available at your local Radio Shack or other store that might carry wires/parts. Instead of plugging the monitor into your computer, you would plug it into the adaptor and then plug the cable in on the other side. This saves you the money of buying a TV card as well, but you could get it if you want that nice TiVo effect with Media Center. However, TV tuners can be annoying because there is a considerable amount of delay, which makes them not-so-great for plugging in a gaming system..

It is a little bit more complicated.  You will also need a TV tuner card to receive TV programs.  You can purchase a computer which already has one installed or you can just purchase the tuner card and install it yourself.  The tuner card usually comes with its own software.  Please read the following article from PC World Magazine for information and step-by-step instructions on how to use the TV tuner card.  In addition, the author also give recommendations on which TV tuner card to buy.\n\n"Turn Your PC Into a TV: Here's everything you need to transform your desktop or notebook PC into a TV." -- written by Michael Desmond, PC World Magazine.

You need an audio patch cable, looks like this: http://www.virtualinformation.com/ebay_images/35mmmaletomalecable1lg.jpg\nto go from the audio out on your computer's sound card to audio in on your tv.

Assuming you have a computer hooked up to the LCD monitor, I've done this before by using a video-capture or TV Tuner card through the computer.\n\nYou can get a PCI TV Tuner card which allows for standard video inputs (usually coax and composite), these tend to run around $50 or less. Once the hardware and software are installed, simply hook the gamecube up to the Tuner card as though it were a TV, and the software will let you view the console output on your computer monitor.\n\nBasically, turn your computer into a TV and everything falls into place for hooking standard TV accessories to it.

No, you cannot.  Any laptop's video card only supports video out and not video in.  There is no cable you can buy contrary to the other answer.  You can hook you laptop up to your PC Screen with the video out and extend your desktop to that, but your desktop wouldn't have a monitor at that point.

Greetings,\n\nIf you have a video card with TV-Out, connect the TV-Out cable to your video card, then other end to your TV. Make sure the TV and Computer (optionally) are turned off, since they're both running on electric power and a simple spark could render your graphic card useless.

It's possible, but the image doesn't look very good and the cheapest devices are around $80. You can get a good monitor for that price!\nSee this: http://www.aver.com/2005home/product/pc_to_tv/quickplay/avermediaquickplay.shtml
