Tv tuner n00b help!!?

my computer came with the tv tuner and tv tuner driver installed (Hauppauge tv tuner) and i have an coaxial cable. how do i do this? do i connect the coaxial cable to the back of my computer and to the tv? cuz it isnt working. i'd imagine you do a lot more. i already found software i could use for it. but how do you connect the tv and computer to watch tv on the computer?

normally you would put a coax splitter (2$ hardware, probably came with the set) on wherever your coax cable from the TV terminates (in the wall) in, the splitter allows you to connect two (or more) coax cables.





you run one coax cable to your TV. The other coax cable goes to your computer.





Next you will want to run some TV software, Hauppage has their own software which is probably already installed with your PC or it came on a CD.





There are much more advanced things you can do with it but lets get it running first ;)
