how would i do this my lcd monitor has a hdmi and dvi input.
You got to buy a TV TUNER Card for your pc. This will make you watch TV on your computer. Just ask your vendour for it. Its very cheap and easy to use. Hope that helps.
you need a video card with a tv outlet, or if your going to direct connect attac the hdmi to your vcr or cable box. It will work the same
Get a tv tuner with HDMI or DVI
You need a tuner that outputs HDMI. I have a Sony tuner like this. I have to connect it to a TV antenna (or satellite feed) and then to the LCD panel.
Listen fools, they said without a computer All you need is a tv-tuner. A vcr will work with rca outputs, but the ideal would be a digital cable box w/ component outputs or better. The new hd cable boxes typically have hdmi ports. A lot of new monitors have ports for hdmi, dvi, vga, component, or rca, but your's might only have one. Even if it doesn't all you need is a converter. For example: Digital cable box to component to converter to vga to lcd.
