Hey

[Dan Corrigan]

An operating system (OS) is a software program that manages the hardware and
software resources of a computer. A key component of system software, the OS
performs basic tasks, such as controlling and allocating memory,
prioritizing the processing of instructions, controlling input and output
devices, facilitating networking, and managing files.

You would need a capture card to view an external video source on your PC. 

You would need a TV Tuner built into the card to tune channels using
standard cable television as your video source. 


To be honest with you, if you need to ask either of these questions, FreeBSD
might be a bit too advanced for you. Although I hate to discourage the use
of this great operating system, you may want to stick to Windows until you
are more experienced in the wonderful world of computers.

Good luck!

Hi! I have a question. I have no idea what an operating system is. I know  
that FreeBSD is one. And do you know what kind of program or thing you need
to  
watch TV on the computer? I know that they have screens that you can plug
your 
 TV into, and they might even have screens that you can just watch TV on.
