Default Turning Computer into TV
I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, is there a cable I can get for it to run cable off of?

you should contact your local cable provider and they should fill you in with that stuff. you have to have some special equipment for that.

Your ATI card isn't designed for cable television. You can ditch it and get an ATI All in Wonder or keep your existing video card and just purchase a PCI TV Tuner Card. I would go with option #2 being that you already have a decent video card.

I'm debating doing the same thing, with a huge widescreen flat panel HD monitor I would really like to hook cable up to it....

Suggestions for an Apple Compatible TV Tuner card?
