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.
Hindi toh aati nehi to german kahan se ayegi

hey thanks Mr.Utsav, and Mr.SkGhosh,

BtW there is some sort of COM port behind that settop box of Dish TV, i was wondering if we just plug it with computer will it do anything? [Though i don't have such wire]

But if someone has, plz try and let it be known to world what happens?

[utsav]

thats what i am saying that there is a com port(serial port)

[bikdel]

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?

[utsav]

^^i know this that serial ports can function at a max of 115kbps. but i interpreted what i read there.dishtv has recently launched a vga box for watching tv signals on pc.its available for 4.1 k and monthly 300rs subscription

YES u can view your DishTV or TATA Sky anywhere on any number of TVs even on COmputer from your work place also using SlingBox, or HAVA.
EVEN ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE.
