O.k., let me just confirm if you are getting an internal TV Card or an external PCTV card?

O.k. Not trying to confuse you it's just that earlier you asked about the PCTV USB type (external) that's all.
Now, you want the antenna to be the source or should I say it will be the source of your cable TV. Now, as long as the device on the other end of your cable connection opposite the TV Card can supply cable, the set up you want will work.
Like I said before though, not too sure about the satellite thing but if you have at least one cable outlet, regular cable, you can use a splitter and Y off that connection. One would go to the TV and the other to your PC.

When i get one their probably be instructions with it anyway, I'll let you know how i get on, But atm I have another ongoing I have just splashed out aload of cash on Cubase SX 3. I still don't really understand. I have a standalone tele in this room using a portable aerial, No other cables going into it would it be possible for me to the same thing to recieve Basic channels 1,2,3,4,5 not sky and such. Basically would it work if I put an 'portable' aerial into the aerial space on the PC channel, Or do I have to have some kind of other cable going into it. I'm such a noob with this sort of stuff. Thanks

I don't wanna say too much to frustrate you but I don't wanna hole back either cause you might feel I'm leaving you hanging.
I'm assuming you know what type of cable coaxial I'm talking about right. The one that goes with the cable I posted earlier.
Well, if you have that type of cable in your house, yes, it will work.
}}}---> To the back of your TV
Cable Outlet-}}
}}}---> To your TV Video Card
Splitter
Cable Outlet
Splitter
The cable would go from the splitter your TV and the other to your PC
NOW...THE ANTENNA YOU'RE TRY TO USE MAY WORK. if the Hauppage card you get reads it. And I'm thinking it should it it has the right connection to go to the cable connection on the card. It's the same concept if you hook it thru a TV so yeah, you should be fine.
I hope that help clears up a little bit of what I know and helps you picture your "situation". :)

I think I already have a Splitter for sky, so how do i go about getting another, putting another splitter into the splitter or can you get three way splitters?
I wouldn't need the antenna if I got a cable running from the Cable outlet, would I?

EXACTLY, COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF
And yes my friend, they do sell 3-Way Splitters. Do that and you've got yourself Cable TV on the PC. The software for the program will do an initial setup once installed. It will scan your cable for all the channels. Just like most TVs on the first hook up. Now you've got it.

If you connect the cable of your house to your PC...you will have whatever service it is you pay for. Only then, you'll be able to record TV, create VCDs, DvDs, etc...

Unique Man i just noticed something on my graphics card, It has a TV Out thing.
Does that mean I don't have to buy a TV card?
Also I have seen a three way splitter and Coaxial cable i could get off ebay, Is it possible to use my graphics card?

I have just purchased this
What sort of coaxial cable will go in this? male 2 male? male 2 female?
And is it the right thing?
"This is a UNIVERSAL 1 into 3 SIGNAL SPLITTER for use on CABLE TV or SATELLITE TV"
"This unit will allow you to split an incoming signal into 3 signals, therefore allowing you to use 3 receivers on one line of cable"
I just bought it looked right lol

@J-Kwon
That splittier should work and yes, you may be able to use your video card as a TV. WHat kind is it? Do you have the book to it or a link where I can read up on it? Sounds like maybe an ATI card.
