You have to buy a tv-card if you want to watch the same as on the tv. If you want HD-TV, then you will have to have a card with hd decoder and hdmi-cable from your cabl-tuner.

and I don't think there are such adapters out there. If you find a tuner with dvi/hdmi then you be set. Good luck.

There is a small scart connector with a swtich in/out. It has two sets of connections. SPDIF for screen in-out and older type that needs adapters to fin in mini-jack. (The yellow) Using that you should be able to use the tv's tuner and your pc-screen as a monitor.
