Yes you can.

You need to Purchase a special cord.
It's called a DVI cord.

You have to make sure your has the Plug in though.

why does he need that? he said he has HDMI and VGA inputs
you can hook up a PS3 or XBOX 360 (that has HDMI) to it directly
or if you want HD TV channels you would need to get an HD Tv tuner

nothing too hard

what are you talking about?

im using a dvi cable for my monitor now.

i do not have a cable box or this would be easy.

i did look around at best buy today and they had what i was looking for. it was a small usb tv tuner that looked like a mem stick. it had a converter to plug a coaxle cord into and also had a remote...only down fall was that its 120 dollars. ima ssearch for it cheaper.

that is what i was referring to, a little expensive though

but that card would work also, just remember to make sure whatever you buy for a tuner it's HD

your only option would be to get the hd tuner box with hdmi output or to get dish network or direct tv


etheir or u still need to spend money cancel your cable company and get dish you can get the top 100 with hd and locals for 34.99 a month and u get a hd dvr box

yes you can i think even tv conveter boxes have hdmi out so that would be all you need
