For viewing TV in computer u must required TV tuner card internal or external. As far as I know subcriber of Dish TV or Tata Sky they will give u only on receiver unless u applied for more than one. It is also not permisable
to connect two TV. If u wish to watch 2 TV from one connection u have to contact with the Dish TV dealer, they will charge u for another receiver only and also the subscription rate will be half.
Alternatively u can connect 2 tv through Y connection, but same channel will be shown in both the TV also the picture quality will be poor. So I think there is no benifit, better u contact with the dealer.

it has a serial connector and i hav read some days back that it can be used to connect dish tv to pc.the site where i read this was www.saveondish.com

they said to download some drivers for it but i didn't found the drivers for download becoz the site which is providing downloads is in german.

common is this a JOKE?

u wanna tell that a serial port can be used to stream video to a TV from the SET-TOP box?

man the serial ports function at 115 kbps...... even usb 2.0 which works @ 480 mbps becomes too narrow with higher detail pictures.....
lol

instead of TV, it should hae been PC..... ok?
