<p>Has anyone had any success using a tv tuner in their computer with UT's cable service they have in the dorms?</p>
<p>I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. A TV Tuner is a computer is no different than a regular CATV tuner found in any television set.</p>
<p>Would I need anything other than just a regular coaxial cable to connect to the wall?</p>
<p>The only connection for tvs in the dorms is the coaxial thing.</p>
<p>Does this help?

I have heard of this working but I am not sure exactly what you need to buy.</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve used my desktop’s tv tuner to access the cable service via Media Center.</p>
