you could buy an LCD TV/monitor combination, in which case you'll get a lower quality (by computer standards) monitor and a TV
OR
buy any monitor you want, and a PCI capture card (around $70) which allow you to use the PC as a DVR, and you can watch TV whenever you like (you may have to hook the sattilite box into it, i'd contact them on it (i know it should be possible, but i've never had sat. TV to try it out))
Need help finding flat monitor for TV use also
I am looking for some advice.
I need to get a new flat screen monitor and also was wanting to have a TV in my office. Can't I combine the two?
I was thinking about getting one of those LCD monitors that are thin and lightweight for convenience.
What specifications would my computer hardware and new monitor need?
I have a video card with Dual DVI-I, HDTV/Video out on it.
I want to to be able to watch my satelite tv on it.
Any help on what I should look for would be greatly appreciated.
