Because it doesn't have a TV tuner in it!
You can use the TV to display an image from a PC because it bypasses the tuner. The only way to use a monitor as a TV is if you can connect it to an external tuner such as a Freeview box, Sky box, Virgin Cable box or a PC with a TV tuner card built in.It's my problem, it's my problem
