Ok so I am moving out of my house into an apartment in a few days and it has free basic cable, so i am going to use my computer as my tv. Anyway to make this work all i would have to do is buy a tv tuner card and hook the cable wire from the wall into the tv tuner and download some software to view the signal right. Also all the tv tuners i have looked at come with a audio cable. What would i have to use this for, because i already have a surround sound system that i am using for my computer.
An example of the audio cable is this

Tv tuner question?
You won't need it if you already have a "sound card" in your system. The TV tuner has a sound card in it.
Reply:my vid card has an input for tv, fm/am, and av
the av is for a vcr/gamesystem or some other av device.
usually if you get an ATI tuner you get free software with it, (its pretty good software)
you may need to plug that audio cable into your soundcard, or onto your motherboard, wherethe cddrive audio would plug in.
you dont really need the CD's audio so just unplugit and plug that into the motherboard where the cd cord was
