I'm building a computer right now (had to get the specs out of the way). I'll be using Windows XP Pro/Pro x64.

What I'm wondering, though, is on a TV tuner, that'll allow me to stream cable television into my computer, correct?

And if so, is there also a possible way to play consoles games on a monitor?

It may sound crazy, but a $150 tuner card could off set the price of a new television.

Do they have TV tuners with A/V plugs in the back? And if so, can that be used for the purpose of playing console games?

I've never used TV Tuners or ever thought about using them until I started looking for a TV for college and I realised "Hey, I could try to just use my already ripped computer."

Thanks in advance guys, you've helped my ass numerous times and I appreciate everyone here.
