Some of them have tuners. If you have cable, you can just plug it into a cable jack and one into an ethernet jack and that's all you need.
There are also slingboxes that plug into tuners (HD or satellite or whatever) that can take that signal and stream it as well.
I'd let someone use mine, but it's not working at the moment and I don't know what's up with that.
