Title: Silent Knuckler
On my desktop I have noticed that my computer has a TV tuner installed. On my laptop, I have a S-video looking port with a little picture of a tv and an arrow pointing to the port. Can I take a cable cord and plug it into one of my computers to watch TV? Or is there an adapter, extra hardware, or some type of software required?

EDIT: just talked to a friend and did some research on my setup, only way i can get TV input is through a yellow RCA connector. So now i'm looking for a decent TV Tuner card, preferably $30 USD or less that gets me a pretty good picture and has an analog cable port, with perhaps an S-Video port as well. I transfer all my digital camera footage through firewire, so all I really need is the analog cable port. I found a pretty good deal on a Leadtek PCI card on Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814122221 - any other cards you guys recommend?
