    Most laptop screens are wired to the motherboard, only allowing signals from the motherboard. So no, it wouldn't work.

    I think it would be possible with a TV tuner (as they allow video input), however I cannot recommend any as I have never used them.

    Might be possible with some sort of tuner as Hobgoblinpie stated, however the latency would be very high making it pretty much unplayable.

    If your laptop has the inbuilt TV tuner then yes you can do it but:
    1, It wont be High-Def as you have to use Composite or S-Video
    2, You'll have the latency issues others have mentioned.
