Yes, its really easy to begin watching tv on your computer. If your just wanting to record, fast forward, rewind live tv then you need to install a tv tuner on your pc. This is really easy and i will guide you if needed, that should give you what you really want. But after that you should also consider upgrading your operating system (eg . windows 98, 2000, XP, vista) to windows XP media center.

Hope that helps

Answer 3

you need a tv card. these cards need to be installed by someone who knows what they are doing. you also need plenty of disk space if you want to record any. you also need a fairly decent computer to run one quickly enough so it doesnt pause every 3 seconds. usually cost around 100 dollars more for usb versions which i've never used

so you need either a tv cuner card or a usb tuner. either way make sure your computer can support it
