If you have spare monitor than you should go for external tv tuner card. Now follow these steps to connect your monitor to set top box:
1. Connect the aerial connection cable to the set top box, and connect your three colored cables to external tv tuner card.
2. Now connect the connection cable that comes out of your set top box to the tv tuner card.
3. Connect your monitor HDMI cable to the tuner.
4. Connect your speakers to the tuner and your connection is done.
Enjoy your HD television on your pc.

Yes, it is possible you can connect your tv set top box to your monitor with HDMI cable. Best way to get digital tv on your pc is to go and buy digital tv tuner card that is designed for your computer. This device is exactly same like the digital set top box and it converts the digital signals into an image. Just do following steps and your connection is ready:
1. Open your tv tuner card and place it onto your motherboard pci slot.
2. Connect your HDMI cable to the tuner card.
3. Connect the aerial connection cable to the tuner.
4. Install the software that comes along.
5. May be you need to connect your speaker to the tuner card (if it has speaker slot)
After this your connection is ready.
