Watch tv on my computer

[denny566]

What is the cheapest way to watch tv from my cable co.on my basic Dell desktop??

look for a tv tuner, though if you are looking to replace a set-top box and/or use the computer as a dvr then you need something called a cablecard tuner

as for tv tuners i suggest Hauppauge

for cable card tuners, look into ceton, they should be releasing some cards in early 2010

Depending on your cable service you may want an HD tv tuner...

they are not that expensive so it is definatley worth it.
