    Wait... you want to connect your PC to your TV, or a cable/sat signal to your computer?

    Either way, for the first one:
    Svideo cable from the laptop to the TV
    7 pin Svideo-to-component cable(dell sells it for around $15) then use a component cable for HD goodness. Should display ATLEAST 1080i

    And the 2end one:
    Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick ATSC/NTSC USB TV Tuner and Capture
