Is it possible to connect a satellite reciever (Direct Tv) to a computer system? If so how?
We have our direct tv reciever connected to our 720p tv, and in the adjacent room is our desktop computer. We would like to browse the internet and watch tv at the same time on the same monitor, is this possible through a special video card or a monitor that supports PIP? If so what would I need? Thanks.
I would also like to add that I would like to leave the reciever connected to the tv as well. Right now I have it connected through component cables, which leaves the hdmi port free. Also, is it possible to switch channels from the other room? There will be a wall between the reciever and the computer so the traditional IR controller won't work.
You should be able to get a tv tuner card, that should do the trick, put it on channel set it for the proper output and your off and running.
Good luck!
