Q. i want to use a large LCD HDTV as my monitor. I am wondering if i can get a nice video card with a TV Tuner, and then get a cable or satellite package that includes HD channels. Is this setup feasible, or am i not going to be able to receive good digital signal in my TV through a TV card?
A. You can get good tuner cards and video cards, but generally, you'll be limited to standard definition, over the air and in the clear cable digital, including HD. You won't be able to get any of the satellite HD or scrambled cable HD.
The problem is that there are no tuner cards that will accept an HD input from a cable or satellite box.
There is an exception. Cablecard PCs will work as if you have a cable box connected to a PC. There aren't many of these PCs available and they are pretty expensive.

How much should I expect for a broken but used TV?
Q. I let my friends borrow my 37 inch LCD flat-panel HDTV (long story, irrelevant). One of the friends was drunk and broke a chair, and a big piece of the chair flew into my TV and broke the front panel. The screen is pretty messed up and it has a crack in it. It appears to be pretty unfunctional. The friend that broke it is being pretty cool about it, but how much does he owe me? The TV cost $1,070 including tax, and I bought it new around the middle of September 2006 (8 months old). What's the value of the TV now? How does depreciation work in here? Thanks for all the help.
A. Your friend is obligated to replace at replacement value. If he can have the set repaired to new condition OK. If not, he owes you a new set, same brand or better.
