Yes. If you have a digital tuner then you can pick digital signals right out of the air using an antenna just like with analog. All you need is supported software to view it whether it be Windows Media Center or Beyond TV or whatever other program the card comes bundled with. I have a FusionHDTV card in my system that I use specifically for this and it works great.

You can get any Over-the-Air (OTA) channels in digital quality (and HD) for free if you have the right equipment and location. You would need a digital TV (DTV) tuner and an antennae. To view HD quality DTV, you must have a good video card capable of outputing via component cables, DVI or HDMI, and also a television capable of displaying HD resolution (HDTV). You cannot feed the the Digital feed from your set-top box to the pc. You can split the cable before the box and feed the analog signal to the pc, and still have the Digital feed to your set-top box. The size and placement of the antennae varies based on your location. Iam currently running this setup.

It means your PC has a TV tuner card! Look in the manual! It probably has a cable tv jack!

yes, many new pc tuners have a digital tuner, you can get these for around £59.99 which is great, you can record programs straight onto your hard drive.
