Cable line with a computer monitor?

[Emek]

Is it possible to run a cable line through a computer monitor? I went to college this weekend and I didn't bring my tv but i brought my computer and monitor and i'm kind of regretting it and I'm jw if i can just go to the tech store on campus and buy a few wires and cables instead of a tv

Monitors usually lack TV Tuners but you could buy a Tuner Card for your PC.

Cable is decoded using a PAL tuner (or NTSC assuming you're from the USA). Normal computer screens don't have these. Often the other way around a modern flat screen TV can function as a computer screen.

Edit: Or what Saithes says, get a TV card for your pc. Those shouldn't be too expensive. At least cheaper than a TV.
