As stated in the title, I have a Geforce Ti4600

I wish to put an adapter on it so that I can watch TV on my computer.
I assume that there is an adapter or a piece of equipment that would allow me to plug a coax cable into the geforce card.
After that I will also be looking for software to watch TV with.

Can anyone help me here?
This is what it looks like on the back:

So I will need to purchase a new video card that allows me to watch TV? Eh?

Will I have to switch back and forth between video cards? Or will my computer use the Geforce for rendering games?

No, you will not. The video card AND the tv tuner card will reside in your pc. The monitor will plug into the video card and coax cable will plug into the tv tuner. The Leadtek TV2000XP.

TV-Tuner card = Video In.
Graphics Card = Video out.
They generally won't conflict, and because each one has it's own job, they can run at the same time. No need to disable/enable the other one.



To put it in simple terms. Hehe.

Unless you get a All-In-Wonder, which has VideoIn/VideoOut.
