Look on the back and see if there's a video in port?

I would check the Linux TV site to see if you can find a supported USB card since you are using a laptop. The support depends on the kernel version installed newer kernel equals better support for the card if it is a newer one for the older ones once the support is there and working the driver usually continues working well forever.
