I recently got myself a 2005fpw (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=320-4111&cs=19&c=us&l=en) :D

i was wondering what i would need to watch TV on it (good quality TV)

btw i have adelphia cable TV in case that matters

can i just run cable line --> TV box (the channel changing thingy :p ) --> computer?

if so, what would i need (not too expensive or anything though) and how good would the quality be?

can i just run it straight to my gfx card? (it has s-video and VI/VO)
 
go with an All-In-Wonder ATI card. they work wonders for TV. and go with either the AIW 9800 or AIWX800
 
I have the NVidia personal cinema with the FX5600 256mb card in it. Pretty decent. I cant really game on it, but I'm not into gaming. It's cool, has a full function remote and a break out box with RCA in/out on it.

As for S video, that is usually just an out so you can use a TV for your monitor. But if it's in, then yes, you could use that for watching TV on your comptuer. Thats why it is there.
