with a TV Tuner

1 Remove the coaxial cable from the VCR input, and
connect it to the input of a coaxial cable signal
splitter (not shipped with your computer or system).
2 Connect two coaxial cables to the splitter outputs.
3 Connect one of the coaxial cables to the VCR input,
and the other end to the coax port on the front side of
the computer.
4 Connect the coaxial cable.
To connect your computer to a TV, you need a
video/AV cable. The type of cable depends on
your TV.
