To connect, just plug it to usb if external and if internal, plug it to PCI Interface. A tv box can be used to see tv in monitor without a computer but dunno about external tvtuner. For Tv tuner, you need a minimum of p3cpu 500Mhz and 128mb of ram to record videos at low quality. for watching tv, first plug it to computer and start the computer and install the software in the cd given. Driver would automatically be installed. Now, tune the channels to watch tv.......
