How to connect HDTV to my computer?

I have a Dell 24" LCD monitor, an nvidia 7800GT that boasts HDTV support, and I have an ATI HDTV Wonder PCI card in the mail.

The ATI page says that it needs an HDTV antenna to work. Does that mean I need to contact my cable company and have an HDTV box installed near my computer?

It means you need to live in an OTA broadcast area, and your cable co will be of no help except for the analog tuner of the HDTV Wonder. The retail HDTV Wonder ships with an antenna, so if thats your model, it may be enough.

As far as hooking up to your HDTV, it depends on the connectors on your TV and the output of the 7800GT.
