Well simply put I will be going to college this fall and staying in a dorm. My dorm room has a COAX cable that outputs basic cable. The dilemma is that I am not taking a TV with me, because I use my 27" HP Monitor with my AT&T U-verse Box via HDMI. My monitor of course doesn't have COAX input. So if I got a TV Tuner Card, would I be able to just screw the COAX from my dorm rooms wall into the back of the computer and then somehow watch "TV on my monitor through my Computer?
