TV Tuner with Digital decoder?

[ender341]

In my room i want to use my comp as my TV, but i don't want to have the digital cable box on my desk to be able to watch Sci-Fi (which is about all i watch) so are there any digital decoder capable TV tuners?

I'd like to eventually be able to do the same thing... I have a digi cable as well through comcast, but not sure if anything but the box can decode the signal? Maybe a splitter out of the box to coax to the card?

im not sure if this is is what you want or not, it has rca in, coax in, and svideo in

It's coax, but with all the tuners i can find, to view any digital channels i have to have the cable box, which takes up a lot of space on my small desk

why does it have to be on the desk? just but it on the floor

cause then I would end up kicking it and I wouldn't be able to change the channel withoug getting under my desk

You have to use the cable box to change the channel.
