You need a TV decoder first, then something to change that signal to VGA for your screen ..it could cost more than buying a ready made one from ebay.

How about buying an external TV tuner and plug it into the USB port (if any). No physical operation is required. Oops, this wouldn't work unless your laptop is still running.

I check on Ebay, a TV tuner should not be so expensive. They're around $30 to $100.

Check if it is an option for you.

    Any suggestions for buying a laptop? (10)
    Hey, I'm be going to school in a year or so, and I've been looking for a laptop, I'm
    not really desperatly in need for one, but I do need one that's relatively cheap so that if it
    gets broken while transfering back and forth from school with me, I can be mad, but not furious.
    It's a lot easier to take notes with a laptop, and it also saves a lot of time and money so you
    don't have to buy a whole new computer for at school. And of course it makes it easy if you get
    residence and use the internet hook-up with it and just kinda go from there. Do....
