Hello everyone! I've got a question for all of you in-the-know with this new digital TV stuff.

I have a Winfast PxTV1200 TV tuner, and I want to use it to watch TV on my computer. It has Composite, Component, S-Video, and Coaxial inputs along with the red and white plugs for audio.

I've never set up any TV stuff before so I really have no idea how any of it works, such as if I can just plug in the coax coming from the wall and get a picture, or if I need a converter box, or how it could be plugged into something like a DirecTV box, etc.

I don't really know a good way to phrase it, but I just don't know at all how picking up TV through my TV tuner card would work!
