You need either a USB TV tuner device or if your laptop has a PCMCIA slot, you'd need to get one of those cards. Then you'd have to hook it up to a cable feed or antenna in order to get any stations at all..

One thing that would be interesting is hooking up a laptop up to a satellite dish..I've heard of people doing this and getting all kinds of interesting international stations that aren't usually available.
