Open Source Digital Signage Solution

I am working for a healthcare center where on a 42inch of Television at the main reception should display the name of the services & Doctors to that Telivision running both LIVE TV (LOCAL CHANNELS) and a seperate vertical frame the list should appear. I don't mind fixing a PC and TV Tuner card to give it a try.

But there is one more thing which i forgot to discuss that i belong to Middle East i.e., UAE. So it is also hard to get the resellers for such hardware. There are solutions but i don't know why its too expensive.
You can't get a PC and a tuner card?
Alright i can get a pc and a tv tuner card but than what next ?
This is what i hate about Amazon & their rules.

 We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order.
This is a common issue while making orders online for middle east. Anyways thanks i better look for local dealers.

Yes i had planned earlier but i kept it as a last option ,but i think that is the only option i have to go with as the digital signage players are coming not less than 4,000 USD here in the local market. Ill start with it on one of the existing televisions we have lets see how things work out and ill post my results over here. Thanks for your suggestions
Please note if you want audio to be heard on the TV, a VGA cable will not provide audio.
What about TV tuner card with HDMI ?

Thanks both to put your best and for your suggestions but i think i might have to go for the expensive solution which is proposed by one of the digisignage company here in UAE to make things simpler. Thank you.
