How do I use MacBook as Screen to watch cable TV (input from HDMI cable)?

[CiBi]

Hi,

I receive cable TV at home and I am told that instead of using a TV I can hook my MacBook via a HDMI cable and watch TV that way on my laptop screen. I'd like to do that. Is the information correct? How do I go about it? Can my MacBook do that?

Thank you so much for your help.

Carine

www.elgato.com might be able to help you, but without the HDMI option I think.
