dear frnd. u can buy a cheap set top tv tuner card which dont require cpu to use ur monitor as tv. i think u can get a cheap intex tv tuner box for around a 1000 bucks.

you can buy an external TV tuner card and can then use monitor as TV without using CPU

You Dont Need A TUNER CARD With SATELITE/TATA SKY/DISH TV

The set top box gives an out put in standard composite pin format.

The connectors look something like:

Exactly like standard VCR/DVD/VCD player connectors.

Connect this to the line in of your Gfx card with a converter.

Sorry i misread your post.

You can do it,
You just need a composite to vga converter, it looks like:

Then all you have to do it is connect the vga side into your computer monitor and the output pin from your box into the in port of the cable.
