    I don't think that box gets you anything that you don't have now. It is a standard TV tuner that outputs to a computer monitor over VGA. It does nothing to help cable reception and would be worse than connecting the cable box directly to your TV.

    Your LCD-TV already has a SD tuner and can accept VGA input from a computer card.

    For computer connection, all you need is a dual head display card and run VGA to the computer. Best resolution to use is 1280x768. Next best is 1280x1024.

    I doubt it would do better than the TV tuner. See the other comment on getting the Time Warner HD cable box.
