Shenzai You should have a breakout box where all the cable services are seperated. You need to run the cable TV output to Video amp/splitter, with one output going on to your TV/VCR as normal, and an other routed through to your PC. you then need to fit a tuner card into the PC, or get one of ATI's "all in wonder" cards.

This show the type of breakout box I was thinking of. http://www.asms.rpi.edu/cabletv/catvconnect.htm You havn't said if you have a digital or analog service, or if you are using the cableTV service at the moment. Clearly a TV tuner only works with an analog service. If you have a digital service the STB required to decode it may well come with a UHF output, this can be used with a analog tuner, but only for the channel your watching.
