TV Tuner Card/ Monitor Help

xstation14 · 06-15-2008, 06:16 PM

I have a Compaq FS7600 Monitor and I want to be able to connect a coaxial cable to it since I want to buy a video card and there's no port in sight. From what I can tell, theres only a VGA cable attached to it and that's it. Is there any adapter or any way possible I can get this monitor to hook to a coaxial cable?

You need to buy a tv tuner card. I would check out ATI. They have a lot of good cards. It all depends on what you want to do and your budget.

Cheers!

Umm I know I need a TV Tuner Card. I want to know what I can do to make coaxial cables compatible with my monitor.

Well, you would take the coax cable, and connect it to your card the same way that you connect to your tv. Look at this image and you will see a good picture of the faceplate of a tv tuner card.

Cheers!
