    What board do you have?
    You should normally have a dedicated slot foe either an AGP or PCI-E video card unless you are using an older PCI type card.
    But whatever you are using for the video, all you need is a free PCI slot to allow for the tv card.
    Otherwise you can use an external device that will plug into a USB 2.0 port on the PC.
    Better ones also allow you to capture from external devices as well.
    A good cheap device would be something like this:
