I built a TV recording PC for work to record resources from Digital. Plug hauppage into PC, plug coax from hauppage card to coax on your wall, I believe if its specifically for coax, so you need a coax going to the socket on the wall or to a coax aerial. Aerial will obviously be much worse, but it should work. Then scan for channels in Media Center.

Coax cable, plug it into the card then to the wall. If you dont have a tv port on the wall, then you can plug in a coax tv aerial into the TV card.

He already said he is trying to get over-the-air signal. Yeah you need an antenna for that thing. It didn't ship with one?

ive got a PCI-E x1 Hauppage, you can run composite or coax. If you are just running an antenna to it use the coax. I run the composite to my N64.

OTA in high def is actually pretty decent. I've worked with quite a few people that are having trouble paying the bills and looking to cut costs. I personally cut my cable(phone, tv, and internet) from $200 a month down to $55, plus NetFlix and HULU+. IF you're interested in cutting your phone bill too, check out OOMA. I haven't had a dropped call in the two years I've been using it and it's free, although you have to pay taxes in your state. It's 3.47 a month in mine with free long distance as well.

This is a pretty decent antenna here,

click

or any of the RCA flat antenna's are good.

Best,
