Have a look for a USB 1, they are small, consume little power and work well. \n\nmost computer or electrical places sell them

yes, they can and some of the new laptops are having them already built in. but you can also buy one called the PCTV HD Pro Stick and it comes with software that will turn your laptop into a TIVO like system or like the Windows Media Center.  Its a USB plug in...pretty cool....a bit pricy, about  $129.99 bones...... oh ya ...it comes with a remote......ya...

Laptops generally don't have built-in tv tuners. Certainly not Dells.\n\nLatest inspirons have vga out, DVI out, and s-video out, but no in.  You can buy tv tuners for laptops, but they would have to be either PCMCIA cards or USB since those are the only ports laptops have.\n\nIf you want to do tv tuning and such, you should really have a desktop. Laptops weren't designed for it.

You need to get a tv tuner card, these are pretty easy to get as they are avaliable on amazon, ebay and other places and can often be bought very cheaply.

You may try www.ebay.com in the search box put in "Laptop Power Supply" from that page you keep refining until ya get what you want or you can try "Want it Now" but the price will be higher!

You would need to purchase something called a TV Tuner Card.  Some of them come with remote controls and decent ones usually cost, at most, about $30.  If you have a laptop or you don't have an available PCI slot to install it, you can get external USB TV Tuner Cards, as well.\n\nSome graphics cards come with NTSC and Digital tuners built in.  You do not necessarily need to replace the entire graphics card.  \n\nHere's a cheap internal PCI one with a remote\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1698860&CatId=1427\n\nHere is an external.  They are generally more expensive.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1961041&CatId=0

It would be more useful if you listed the model of your laptop, or what kind of connections it has.\n\nMost laptops nowadays have S-video out, so that would be the easiest if you have that.  As for sound, you would just plug some speakers into your headphone jack.\n\nIf your laptop doesn't have S-video, you could always get something like this as well:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH\n\nThat will take your VGA signal and convert it to RCA so you can hook it up to your TV.

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.

buy a TV tuner card for your computer.  Then dial up the channel.

Easy, SnapStream, or I think it's now called BeyondTV, there was an article written on it in 2002 on tomsnetworking.com, great article: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/network/20020423/\n\nA little more than $50, but $69.99 ain't bad. If you don't already have a tv tuner card for your PC then get the bundle that comes with it.\n\nI'm not sure but I think the XP Media Edition PCs have similar software already built-in as well.
