TV on a LCD Monitor

[TeriyakiJack]

So I have a Samsung 216BW, which has a VGA and DVI input. I've read that you can hook up a DVD player, or HDTV signals to it on the spec sheets but Id like to confirm it. What exactly do I need to hook this monitor up to show TV signals. A digital cable box?, a cable adapter of some sort?, etc? I'm aware of USB TV Tuners, but people seem to have alot of problems with those.

My digital cable box only has S-video, cable out, and RCA outputs, if that helps.

You answered your own question. Your going to need a digital box with VGA and or DVI out.

I'm going to assume your with rogers. The SA3250HD box has DVI out.

Then you have to worry about finding a way to output sound because VGA/DVI is Video only.

An external tuner would work better - no need for computer to be running.
