I was wondering in I can connect a aerial to my monitor with a DVI connection, so I can watch TV.

If you are talking about a standard 75 ohm TV aerial (like you would have on the roof), you have to have some electronics in the loop with a tuner. That is not a DVI connection. Typically you would have a TV tuner card or some sort of dongle in or connected to your PC. It would tune in the signal and send the video to your monitor.

If you can connect an aerial directly to your "monitor" and receive TV shows, it's a TV.

TV antennas use a coaxial connector and are analogue. A TV tuner card in a computer will give you that coax input and the analogue to digital conversion you need to display it on your monitor.
