and i was wondering is there a way to watch tv over the internet. Basically is there a website that streams live tv or something like that?

You'd need to buy a TV tuner box or card. Fairly cheap for one if you just want to watch TV (10-20$) and fairly expensive for some really bling bling ones (200-300$).

yes there are a few sites but not ur local stations, why dont u just get a tv tuner for ur pc?

Are those tv tuners any good??!! When I saw one the picture was black and white and really fuzzy.

Mine, for example seems to be rather fuzzy and can be a little sluggish. There are better ones.

One way to see how good one is, look to see if it actually has the little tuner box on it(if you're getting one with a tuner built on) Some of the newer, cheaper ones like I got don't have that little metal box on it, and I beleive their quality is much lower.
