Can a TV tuner be added to a monitor without one?

Zero

I just contacted Dell about this television...

LG M208WA

In the specifications it is listed as having a TV tuner. When I asked Dell if this television could be watched as a TV without the PC running I was informed the PC would have to be running in order to watch TV.

Why would this be since it has a TV tuner? I did point out that it has a TV tuner.

They also informed they do not have any TVs or minitors which can be used as a TV whilst the PC is not running.

The Muppet that you spoke to at Dell has misinformed you. The LG M208WA is a 20" LCD standalone TV. No PC required.

Thanks espresso,

I'll contact them again. It was the Dell Live Chat I contacted them on.

I just contacted Dell again and this time it was someone else I was communicating with via Live Chat.

They told me the same thing! PC has to be running...

Then they told me I should contact LG before purchase.

Looks like I'll have to contact LG to "nail this down"..!
