Thanks again. I just want to be clear on this. The TV card will have an input for the cable to come through. Then you need a Video card to send whatever you record, or just live TV, to the monitor.

yes it has an input for cable (cable TV) just like the input on a TV.

the "Video card" is just what you currently plug your monitor into it should be good quallity

Quick question then. I don't have a TV, but if I did, is there an output in the TV card or a second output on the video card to send it to a TV too? Or does this depend solely on the card? Thanks again for all the help.

The "TV tuner card" will not usually have output to TV or anything else.

If you get a "Video card" you can get one that had output to a TV. (its usually called S-Video, or TV-out)

the "Video cards" I listed in my second post both have TV-Out capabilities. The work well if you just watch to on your monitor OR if you output it to a TV.
