We recently got satellite internet and i was wondering if you can hook the direcTV boxes to the PC through the COaxial for the internet. Or do i need to buy a TV Tuner Card to do this?

Hi Bored,
To watch cable TV on your PC you need a video card. Go here for information on cards - http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/prods_pci.html
