Can you connect TV anthena to a lcd monitor and watch TV?

No, you can't do this because you need a TV tuner to select the channel. (Note, that if you have cable TV it may be possible to connect your cable box to your monitor. This depends on what outputs the cable box has.) For a desk top computer you can add a tuner board and for a laptop or a desktop machine you can buy a tuner that plugs into a USB port (make sure that the software that comes with the tuner will work on your machine.) Prices run from about $50 and up. Be careful, there are still some analog only tuners on the market -- they will no longer work in most parts of the world. Remember that if you buy a tuner, you will still need an antenna.
