Can it be used as TV?

I've just orded a w2486l 24" moniter. I may be wrong, but as far as ILnow a moniter can be set up as a TV as well?

If so, what do I need?

Thanks.

Thanks but that card won't work as the moniter will be used on my xbox360.
So it's need to be some thing to plug into moniter or something.

Something like this I would think.

Unless the monitor has built in tv, like my first link, then as far as I know a Usb tuner or internal card is the only other way.

I stand corrected as shown above. Maybe cheaper buying a monitor with built in TV! £130 :eek:

That is just what I need(y)
Sadly, it's a box what is for people who are on virgin media etc. So I can't use that one.

Where did you read that?

From what I can see it has nothing to do with Virgin Media.

What I mean by that is. On the back of that box, it's got the end you use a dish thing In.
We use a aerial what is a diffrent end to go into the box.

The bottom connector is an aerial connector.

"For an out of the box solution this works very well. Of course it relies on you having a TV aerial socket next to you PC, but aside from that everything worked perfected. What's even better about this unit is that it's self-contained "
