Can I use my Tv as a second monitor if I use a coaxial cable?

both my computer and Tv have slots to hook up coaxial cables. Is it possible to directly hook up the two, to display my computer on my Tv?

Update:

@Mike, my computer came with a tv tuner attached, which contains a coaxial input/output

    If your TV has an input that matches the computer's output, it should work. The coaxial connection on your computer is an input, not an output.

    I've never seen a computer have a COAXIAL output.

    Computers usually only have VGA (the blue plug) or HDMI (the flat plug).

    No, you cannot use a coaxial cable.

    You can, however, use a VGA or HDMI cable, if your PC/TV has those ports, to connect to your TV, which will make it work as a second Monitor.
