Member Apr 28, What I'd like to do: I'd like to connect a converter box to my monitor and watch TV or use my computer. You or a computer savvy friend would just need to install a NTSC tuner card into your PC tower and you'd be good to go. Ajax said:. I'd just get an ATSC tuner card for your computer.
There are 2 types. The USB sticks are more expensive, though. So, what if I wanted to do this from my laptop? Can I? I am tired of my huge tv and can't afford a flat screen right now but my Aunt gave me a 22" flat screen monitor that I have been able to connect to my dvd player but not to my converter box.
You said I won't need the converter box with a tuner card? Can I get a tuner card for my laptop? Aaron62 Contributor Staff member. Jul 28, Ok, so I went to Radio Shack and found a usb tuner stick on sale.
Looks like I'm going to be able to use the monitor as a flat screen BTW, thanks cowboyup4christ I checked your other comments and got good info on the best converter boxes. You are very knowledgeable and you made this whole process a lot simpler for me. Plug out the speaker jack from your sound-card which is usually located at the back of the CPU cabinet.
Insert the cable which has a similar jack like your speaker's jack that was plugged into the sound card that came along with the packaging in the place of the speaker jack into your sound card.
The other end of this cable should be plugged into the "Sound-out" socket of the TV tuner card. Plug out the monitor display cable from the back of the CPU cabinet and plug it into the TV tuner card. The socket on the card looks similar to the one on the CPU cabinet. Now, take the other cable that had come bundled with the tuner card and plug one of its end into the monitor socket on the CPU cabinet.
The plug looks similar to the plug on your monitor cable. The output cable of the power adapter needs to be plugged into the "Power-In" socket of the tuner card. Insert the terrestrial antenna jack into the antenna socket of the card or connect AV cable into the card. Switch on the entire setup. In some cases, you could hear a beeping sound from the speakers. Press the power button and the desktop monitor should show some display resembling a disturbed TV transmission.
