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. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system 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! -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Alsports1@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 8:55 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Hey 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.
