Is it possible to send a signal from my PC to a TV so that I can watch this free TV on the larger screen of my TV? Some type of reverse TV tuner card, lol ?

It is possible to do so by connecting the system using a DVI cable to the HDMI port and then check for the thing. You can switch to the AV mode of the TV and make it function then. Install the appropriate driver for the port. So do check out and work as needed. It will be helpful.
