i was looking at LCD monitors and thought it would be cheaper to get an HD monitor but can use cable and satellite with it?

The product has to state that it can be used for a TV and for a PC.

Yes, and No. It can't plug directly into it, but you can buy a TV Tuner card(Make sure its HDTV compatible, it will probably run about 60-80$ for the HDTV tuner card) which you can use to watch though your computer onto your monitor. It will also let you record and such.
Also, If you have the space, a CRT monitor will display HDTV if its big enough and be much cheaper. 19inch+ preferably a 20-21inch.(What matters for HDTV, is how high the resolutions can go, which for he size, CRT's have higher then an LCD)

HD Monitors, or TVs are really just a matter of hardware connections. You can connect just about anything to LCD or HD, depends on your signal Source, your "monitors" connectors, and wether or not you have a junction box inbetween that will be needed to "translate" signals. Sometimes some TVs will take a variety of connections, sometimes not.

Yes, but you will have to give it something for a tuner signal..to get reception ..either a tuner card in your PC, or they also make a USB- hi-def tuner, that plugs right into a USB port..then you'd have hi def reception on your desktop, or laptop!
