Start reading the PVR (wiki) pages. You will need a device like an hdhomerun from SiliconDust or backend service running somewhere.

So no way with no device just the dvb-c from the tv right ?

No. The TV's tuners won't be shared to anything on the network, including Kodi (even though it's on the same physical device).

not on the network, locally on same device

[DarrenHill]

They won't be shared with anything installed, even on the same device (the TV).

Hence Kodi can't communicate with them, hence you need an external tuner source, as @bry already said.
