This depends on some variables - 

For this you need to know, which TV (LCD or otherwise) 

Does your computer have a Video Card which can support the TV's resolution ? 

Do You have a TV card inside your computer? 

If your TV has HDMI port, then you should get the video card (or motherboard) which also has HDMI port in it. Then connect the TV via this port (to transmit sound as well)

The TV card will allow you to capture TV shows from an analog or digital connection through an antenna or transmitter of some sort that may have been given to you.

You connect everything in the right ports, and it should work

there is no need for a cable to be hooked up to your computer to watch tv programs most are already available online for free just click in the name and see what comes up. i watch sanford and son, on tv channel on the computer all the time and my kids watch the shows they like im old school but no need to hook up a cable card to computer just search for your show and watch it.

Some product features of Windows 7, such as the ability to watch and record live TV or navigation through the use of "touch," may require advanced or additional hardware .All you need to do is put internal or external TV tuner card your system
