do any of them have the capability of connecting your cable box to them ? would eliminate my need for a 2nd tv.. not even sure what it would take to do that... im guessing just a video card that has input capabilities but im not sure

Sling box player
You can watch television from your laptop/desktop/phone anywhere you are connected to the web.Comment -
If you want to watch television on your laptop then you need a TV tuner card. Simply match the appropriate inputs from your cable box to the TV tuner card. It also has the added advantage of using your hard drive as a PVR. You can buy external and internal TV tuners. For a laptop application it will be easier to just use a USB external TV tuner.
As previously mentioned the Slingbox is a good choice if you are not computer inclined and has the added benefit of streaming your programming anywhere you go in the world. If you travel a lot this would be the more appropriate choice. I am unsure whether your hard drive can be used to record the programming while watching streamed programming on the slingbox but maybe sharpcat can fill you in.Comment
