YES
The concept of being able to watch TV on your computer has been around for quite some time now. In fact, there are already quite a few TV cards available in the market today. Some of the more well known brands include Hauppauge as well as ATI. ATI’s TV tuners can be found separately in the ATI TV Wonder series or integrated in video cards in ATI’s All-In-Wonder series.
Unfortunately, the idea has not been as appealing to consumers due to several reasons. First of all, if you were to compare the picture quality on the same standard TV signal, you would immediately notice that picture quality looks better on a regular TV as opposed to a computer screen. This is because the TV signal is not quite appropriate with the resolution on a computer monitor. In addition, there isn’t much visibility of these kinds of products in a retail store because you rarely see a computer demonstrating TV capabilities on a computer. Companies have taken a slightly different route with the introduction of LCD screens with built-in TV tuners. This is great in bringing awareness of being able to watch TV on your computer, but it still has the same poor picture quality.
HDTV technology is starting to become standard in the latest types of digital televisions costing upwards of thousands of dollars. Now ATI is bringing the same experience of HDTV to the computer user with their HDTV Wonder package which retails for $200.

Yes, see http://ruel.net/pc/tv.tuner.htm
Although a typical's PC monitor has much less resolution than a TV set, which means that either you're going to see a grainy-looking picture, or you're going to have to get a monitor that will be overkill for any PC program you run.

All you need is a TV Tuner accessory. The only thing is your PC might not support.

yeah.
The TV tuner and a monitor that handles both functions. Otherwise you may not be able to make small things out, like typed letters.
