Default Turning LCD Monitor into a TV

Hey all, since my dorm is pretty small, and I did not want to shell out ~300 bucks for a LCD TV, I decided to convert my 19" LCD widescreen monitor (that would have not been used otherwise because I'm using my laptop) into a tv for my dorm.

I looked into it and the only thing I need to buy is a external TV tuner. (can't post link, but there is one on NewEgg for about 60$)

The room has cable, so it should hook directly up. I'm not turning my PC into a TV rather I am just using my monitor as a TV. Has anyone tried anything like this before and would be willing to share their experience?

Thanks!
