How to Receive a TV Signal on a Laptop PC
- 1). Purchase a TV tuner card for your laptop. These TV tuner cards are widely available at electronics stores, Internet retailers and even some discount stores. These cards are generally designed to fit into a free USB slot on your laptop, so they are very easy to install.
- 2). Remove the TV tuner card from its packaging, insert it into a free USB port on your laptop and install any necessary software. The TV tuner card should come with its own installation disk, but be sure to read the instructions carefully.
- 3). Open the software that comes with your TV tuner card and configure the channels and settings for your television viewing. The TV tuner card will automatically look for the channels in your area and attempt to tune them in. If any channels are missing, you may need to adjust the antenna on the tuner card to bring in those additional signals.
