Sat TV to PC
Permalink  

Hi,We have a sat tv that we are very happy with but I want to be able to watch tv on my pc like I did when we were in our house.I bought a sort of double adapter that plugged into the antenna plug on the back of the tv and then I plugged the regular antenna and the antenna to my pc into the other side and I had tv on my pc.After all that,my question is can I get the same sort of double adapter for the sat set top box?

You can buy a PAL splitter and split the Pal socket out of your set top box or maybe you can use av connection between them
cheers

 No milo, digital tv uses land based transmission, like from a local transmiter to the antenna on your roof through a cable into your tv. Satalite tv comes via a satalite (mostly optus c1) to a satalite dish on your house to a decoder (this converts the satalite signal into a picture) and then to your tv normally through AV leads.

cheers
