Computer Monitor LCD DVI watch TV on it, how to?

Question

What i'm asking is how am I gonna be able to watch, HD tv on my LCD monitor it supports HDCP, and it has DVI, so is there a DVD player out there that has both a Cable hookup, and a HDMI output so I can convert that to DVI on my LCD screen?

Answer 1

You need a DVI-HDMI cable or converter. Second your going to need some speakers. Powered computer speakers will work. You will need a female 2.5" headphone jack to Male Stereo RCA cable. There is not a DVD player with cable hookup that I am aware of. You will need a cable or satellite box with HDMI or DVI. All the HD Boxes have one or the other. You can get an OTA (over-the-air) Antenna for HD channels but you'll need a tuner to do it this way.

You can run it through the computer with a HD-TV Tuner card. I don't recommend this way because more electricity and the HD Tuner cards kinda suck.

Answer 2

Your question makes no sense.  The HDMI output is from the video card... the LCD Monitor doesn't need it.  You'll need to buy a HDTV Tuner usually used via USB or a PCI slot in your PC.
