Does this mean it can perform all the operations of a regular tv tuner?

Remember. If you pick VGA tuner and you monitor only has DVI, you need to get VGA-DVI converter (VGA-female on oneside and DVI male on the other so that you can connect the tuner to DVI of your LCD.

Please suggest some cheap but worthy stand alone external TV Tuner cards along with prices. DVI output is also welcome if possible under 1K.
