If the laptop will start then you have at least two options.\n\nThe first option is to use an external monitor.  Connect the monitor to the back of the laptop before powering it on.  The laptop should automatically detect the monitor.  If not then there may be a special key combination to make it work.  For example, on my HP laptop it is function-F4.\n\nThe other option is to use remote access software like Windows Remote Desktop Sharing.  Follow the link below for instructions on how to configure it remotely.\n\nHope this helps.

Laptops generally don't have built-in tv tuners. Certainly not Dells.\n\nLatest inspirons have vga out, DVI out, and s-video out, but no in.  You can buy tv tuners for laptops, but they would have to be either PCMCIA cards or USB since those are the only ports laptops have.\n\nIf you want to do tv tuning and such, you should really have a desktop. Laptops weren't designed for it.

You need to get a TV Tuner card.

I have a T40. Most laptops hide its antenna next to the LCD screen (be careful, not to break it). Thus, you can either re-mount that antenna out-of-LCD or get a USB/PCMCIA wireless card with high-gain antenna.

u need to buy a tv tuner card, ask in computer peripheral shops, \n\nthere are 2 types, one u can put it in ur motherboard, and it can be used to watch and record tv programs, computer should be running for this......\n\nthe other is like a modem or a hub, it just connects ur tv cable to ur computer monitor and uses it as a screen\n\nu can watch but u cant record programs, with the second one.\n\nIt costs about rs. 1500

you need a tv capture card and a cable tv connection, most laptop does not have the tv capture card, so unless you have a dvi socket on your laptop and use a newer digital video player as the interface, there is a slim change that you can watch tv on it.

Plug cable into TV card plug and start TV card Software.\n\nIf you have analog cable all channels should appear after scan.\n\nFor digital (set-top box) there is no solution\n\nFor more information RT(F)M

In order to be able to see the movie playing on your TV you have to select the TV in the "Device settings". The movie will not play on both the laptop's screen and the TV under dual or clone view. Here's what you have to do under Win XP: Go to Start; Control Panel; Appearance and Themes; Display; Settings; Advanced; select the "tab" for your Graphics card; select "Device Settings"; select TV. For further details read below.\n\nBefore you start, change the display settings to 800 x 600; you need to do this since most TVs will not support higher resolution settings - this is ok, however, since you do not need higher resolution to enjoy your DVDs or to view your monitor's display on your TV. Read below about TV/VGA resolution comparisons. Also, make sure all of the hardware is connected before turning on the computer; you may have trouble getting the video card to recognize the TV as the second monitor - the option on some Dells is to change to "Clone" in Nview. But "Clone" is grayed out unless you have the RCA connector on the far end of the "S to RCA" cable, terminated in a VCR or TV.\n\n1. Connect the "S-Video™ to RCA" cable or the "Pro S-Video™ to 3 RCA" cable to the "S-video out" of the computer and to the "video in" (yellow RCA jack) on the TV. NOTE: This step must be performed before you start up the computer. Make sure that your TV is set to "recognize" the RCA/yellow video-in jack; you may have to play with the "aux 1", "aux 2", or "line-in" selections on the TV or the TV's remote control. The S-Video jack on your computer may be a 4-pin or 7-pin jack that is usually on the back of the computer, as in the "TV-out" connector (# 2) on this diagram of the IBM ThinkPad T2X.\n\nWe will first describe the procedures for machines running Windows XP:\n\n- Click on Start, Control Panel.\n\n- Click on Display\n\n- Click on Settings\n\n- Slide the "Screen resolution" area slider bar toward Less until the setting reads 800 x 600. OK, you may not like how your screen looks at this setting after usig high-res settings, but you'll certainly enjoy your DVD on your TV!!! You can always change the res back when not playing DVDs.\n\n- Click Apply\n\n- Press the FN key and your computer's corresponding "F-number" key. For instance, on some Toshiba laptops you press the FN+F5 simultaneously four times to get the TV-Out setting. The "FN" key is a short-cut key on most laptop keyboards. Note, the combination keys that you may have to press depend on your laptop. Here's a brief list: Acer Fn+F3; Dell Fn+F8; Fujitsu Fn+F5; Gateway Fn+F3; HP Fn+F5; IBM Fn+F1 or +F3, +F7 +F8; NEC Fn+F3; Panasonic Fn+F2; Samsung Fn+F4 or F5 or F6; Sharp Fn+F5; Sony Fn+F7; and Toshiba Fn+F5 or +F7.\n\n- Start playing your movie or presentation.\n\n- There may be additional adjustments that may be required. If the TV display is shifted to the right with a black vertical bar on the left side you will have to perform additional settings. Joshua T. has the following suggestions: "The computer runs Windows XP Pro and has a "Radeon IGP 345M", which I believe is made by ATI. Under 'Display Properties', 'Settings', 'Advanced', 'Displays', click the "TV" button, then 'Adjustments' tab. There you will find options to change the vertical/horizontal size and position. Once you have switched over to use the tv you can simply adjust these settings while you watch the display on the television to get it looking the way you like."\n\nProcedures for Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Me, or Microsoft Windows 2000:\n\nNOTE: To use the TV as the primary display with the dual display function, you need to enable the TV setting every time you start your computer.\n\n2.

Does your laptop have USB ports?  Does it have a decent graphics card?  That's probably all you need.  Search for "usb tv tuner" and you'll come across several.  I have the WinTV-USB external tv tuner made by Hauppauge, and it works great.  I can watch tv, record shows, schedule recordings, and it even scans  for active channels (works with basic and digital cable, as well as regular tv).  \n\nI have an HP Pavilion dv5000 laptop, but didn't get the one built-in, because it was expensive.  I bought the tuner at Circuit City back in May for about $50 after a $30 rebate.  It was great for when we moved, because we could still watch tv on the laptop while we waited on our television to arrive!  \n\nYou can even get tuners that come with remotes, though I didn't opt for that when I bought mine; I just change the channels on the computer.  \n\nOther options include pcmcia tv tuners (plugs into the pc card slot on the laptop if it has one, search for "pcmcia tv tuner" online) and express card tv tuners (plugs into the express card slot on newer laptops that have that type of slot).  You might also try searching for "laptop tv tuner" or "external tv tuner" and see what you come up with that way. \n\nGood luck!
