[QUOTE="vbap, post: 16139, member: 11549"] Hi, I agree with Scoop - try a USB-based TVCard. And try searching the forums to see what others have setup with their laptop. Integrated graphics chips are generally not the best for MP, since it uses DirectX9 features. It should work OK with the GF4, but be prepared to tweak various settings to get the best experience. Again search the forums to see what others are doing with their GF4. Yes, you will need to run a cable from your TV outlet to your laptop (or, from your TV outlet to your USB TvCard, then a USB cable from your TVCard to your laptop!) You don't mention what kind of TV conenction you have - cable, antenna? Do you have access to digital TV? Even though you don't mention where you are from, I would suggest using your favourite online or bricks-and-mortar retailer should have a range of TVcards. As Scoop mentioned, check the wiki to see whether it's known to work with MP. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
