Is it possible to watch HD cable channels on a computer LCD monitor ?
I've already got a cox HD box hooked up to an actual hdtv downstairs, but I would like to have the ability to watch upstairs on the computer when others are watching crap on the tv downstairs
What hardware would I need to interface between an HD cable box and LCD ?
I know a tuner card lets me pull in the local channels with an antenna, but I'm not sure what I need to watch HD cable. Can the cable box output go into the video input on my videocard ? (X1900XT) Or is it more complicated ? Do I need software ?
