Is there any way I could hook up my PC to use it as a TV also in the bedroom? I know you can buy certain TV monitors that do this but I was wondering if my current flat panel 19' monitor will allow me to do this. Is there something I could buy to make this happen?

I've seen it done before. Now I don't know what you have to do but if you get it to work it will be cool.

Well the reason I ask is because a friend (who I am out of touch with from college) had it done and I remeber it being really cool. He could view every single channel at once and click on the show he wanted to watch. I have to get this done. Show me the way!

I would recommend the ATI TV Wonder 2.0 which is an external box along with software that will allow you to not only connect a coax signal, but also a composite (RCA) video like a VCR or other composite signal. The TV Wonder 2.0 is essentially a TV Wonder internal card with a few improvements, well worth the extra 20 bucks cost.
