Unfortunately the only way to watch Live TV is either from a streaming website or via a TV Tuner. But, if your TV Digital Tuner has a composite A/V input (Red White Yellow RCA plugs) then you could take the RCA out put and plug them into the input on your Aver Media or other tuner card. The other way is to take your coax to TV tuner card input connector dongle and connect the TV coax output to the TV Tuner card. In either case, computers need some sort of hardware bridge to decipher the OTA or coax signal...

Cheers!
