Can i watch cable tv through hdmi slot?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Tpk=24-009-154
I am looking to purchase this and use it as a tv as well. One option is purchase a tv tuner on my labtop and view it through the screen. I was wondering if there is a converter. That will allow me to plug in the cable directly to the back of the tv? |

Wouldn't that TV tuner go out due to the digital phase of cable?

I think ill end up having to use this. Thing is my labtop screen broke. So looking for replacement screen. But figure i just might buy a external lcd. Also been looking for a nice tv for my room to replace my tiny box tv. So this would be perfect. I can watch tv on it and then use it for my computer as well. While saving lots of money. 24lcd hd tvs cost lot more than this |

You can watch cable through the HDMI slot, but youy have to make sure you have a Hi Deff cable box. Just took my old box to the cable company and switched it over to the HD.
