Sorry, I did not complete the question.

Could anyone tell me how I can watch the TV using the cable connection for computing.

Thank you.

Put in a tv tuner card. I watch tv and cruise the interent at the same time. Cable connects to the tv card.

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Without buying a TV card, how can I operate the TV and the computer independantly?

I want to watch the TV in the room while I am working (once in a while of course). Our room has only one cable connection - like an electrical outlet which is connected to the VCR always and I disconnect and put it on the router to use my computer.

Any easy solution is apprecaited.

Thank you.
