    No. You'd need a TV Tuner. And even so, there's going to be such a lag that you can't really play anything..

    There are a few tuners out there that you wont get lag from, but they're so expensive you'd be better off buying a small LCD HDTV.

    Yea, you can play, but you wont be getting HD resolution.

    You would be using the RCA yellow cable, or svideo. It works, its playable, its just not HD.

    Like xirurg try eye tv.
