    Use the VIVO cable it came with.
    Simply connect whatever device you have to the VIVO.

    if your talking about a COAX cable line....then no.

    VIVO is VIDEO IN/ VIDEO OUT....to decode cable requries a Tuner Card...the absolute best tuner hard if you can still get it (it was suppose to be illegalized because it can record HDTV) is the ATI HDTV Wonder.

    Looks like an svideo in to me. Cha-ching.

    You need a tuner card to tune, i.e change channells and so forth. I didn't know of any outlaw of HDTV wonders.

    well the tricky situation with the HDTV wonder is because the production companies were not wanting people to record HDTV at home but that may have changed...i'll look into it and post back.

    EDIT: It's still available for purchase, so who knows.
