It's actually a TV-In card (also called a TV Tuner) that you're looking for (TV-Out lets you display your computer on a television).

Can you watch TV in a little window while doing something else?
Yes.

I've never used one before, but I have seen them, and the picture quality is decent enough.

Memory Express has this card for $70 with a remote or $45 without. That card goes in addition to your existing video card.

Your other option is to get a new video card which has a video capture feature included, such as ATI's All-In-Wonder line, although that's a much pricier solution. This card is $230.
