I think you would need a TV tuner, cable box, or satellite TV box with an HDMI output. Connect that output to the HDMI input on the monitor and it should work. I haven't actually tried this, however, so I can't say for sure.

It doesn't have a coaxial cable input. If your TV signal can be supplied with HDMI, VGA, or DVI, you're okay. If you only have coaxial or 300 ohm (flat TV antenna wire) this unit won't work for you.

You could use it with a cable tuner box, direct TV, slingbox or similar and just connect it with a HDMI cable.

All you are buying is a tuner, just like a TV without the screen. You need some source of a signal. Look into internet TV. Different experience but, much cheaper.

You will also need an HDMI cable from the display port to your TV (or monitor). Hope this helps!

Maybe, if you can use a USB camera with the TV then yes other wise NO. Even then you would not have all the functionality which you would have using a computer.

If it is an analog tv (box style) you will still need a digital convertet. After I priced them, I bought a cheap flatscreen (cheapest I could find) because some converters were up to $50.

Use a device that supports internet connectivity and connect it to your TV.For example a Blu Ray player that has WiFi or a Roku. There are other devices as well.

I believe you would need TV and Power hookups if I'm not mistaken. You can look and find them on ebay.

You will need a tower or laptop. This is a monitor with speakers and camera only.

You don't need a smart tv for this. I don't have smart TV and it works with hdmi cable .

Yes you can. You don't need a smart TV. It has 3 different ways to connect a TV or DVD. HDMI is easiest and the best picture, but it can accommodate TV's without HDMI.

This does not need a computer to work, it just needs a internet connection and a TV with a HDMI. there are plenty videos to show you how to configure the gbox with XBMC in youtube.

You don't. This came out before real smart TV's were around. You can hook a computer or a Smartphone (through HDMI) to it and use it as a monitor.

Yes, I live where there is no computer access. Only thing is I may need a HDTV signal filter because when I turn on my new TV it causes a lot of static on the scanner to the point I have to turn the scanner off to watch TV. The scanner works great without the HDTV on. I'll call Radio Shack, maybe they can help me.

No computer needed. This only works alone there is no way to store images or hook it up to the computer.

This thing doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to operate. You just need a TV or computer monitor. Sorry, but I don't have enough of a Geek background with this to know if it can be hooked up to any computer.

I haven't tried it, but it's my understanding that it can be used as a standalone unit, without using a TV. I'd double check with Pyle though.

Must go through Dave but can be connected to tv without software if you use an hdmi or sub cable. Software is needed for computer and you will need you IP info for your computer. TV just needs to be turned to a component channel.
