    Watching TV on a PC

    We moved our PC into the spare bedroom and are trying to consolidate the TV that was in there. I just ordered a 22" Samsung monitor (VGA and DVI inputs).

    What is the easiest way to watch TV on the PC? I've got a Hauppage TV card that I've used in the past but I was wondering if there is another way.

      The Happauge card will do the trick, though you might look at upgrading to an HD capable card if it isn't already.

      You can use the PC as a DVR as well.

          No, it is an older card I got on eBay for $5 or something. I knew you could use it as a DVR, but I don't have the HDD capcity. I do have a HD-DVR Dish receiver though...

          The other thing I thought about was using the DVI output of the Dish Receiver with the monitor. I'm assuming that it will display it?

              It should display in theory, but it will provide only the video, but I'm sure you knew that already .
