My TV in my living room just went out and I was wondering if this was possible. I have Dish Network.

The Answer is Yes. There are several products available for Cable/Analog communication with your computer. With DSS however you would need to use your DishNetwork Converter box between your Dish and your computer, then tune your TV-tuner card to the channel 3 (in some cases 4) to recieve the signal. Then use your DishNetwork remote to control what channel you are watching. The question is how much are you willing to spend to basically circumvent the use of a television monitor which can be at times less expensive than a TV-Tuner card for your computer. The link below is to one manufacturer, there are several around.

yes you can...what you need is a video card with "video in" or a tv-capture card.\n\nhere is a site that offers them and tutorials on how to do it\n\nhttp://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm

If Dish can't or won't move you, then drop Dish and go with either DirecTV or your local cable outlet. I'm sure somebody can get Brewers games.

Your local cable company will install an outlet for you and hook all the items up for you\nWe have adelphia in Colorado... and thats what they did for me. So my best bet would be for you to contact them and ask how they can help you

Yes, you will be able to do this.  Please look at the following references:\n\nNetgear delivers 85 Mbps over power lines... \nhttp://www.theinquirer.net/?article=31522\n\nUtility firms are lining up to get into broadband, potentially affecting Hollywood's high-speed universe....\nhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/television/feature_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000913310

No it cant be done theres a physical connection that is based on your phone line. If your friend is nearby your place you might want to buy a wifi connection instead to connect to your DSL at home.

You will need some equitpment to do this.\n\n1. Dish\n2. Dish Reciever (the box that allows you to switch channels)\n3. Video Capture card (check your local electronics stores, or online stores for best price and quality) OR TV tuner card.\n\nInstall your video capture card (or TV Tuner card) into your computer.\nIf your tuner or capture card has RCA or composite connections, you may need those to connect your card to your Dish reciever. Eitherwise a coaxial cable will work (with all TV tuner cards).\n\nPresto. Open your capture card's record program or open your TV tuner cards view program and watch.\n\nNOTE: For TV tuner cards you will need to tune to the channel that your DISH reciever broadcasts to. In most cases it will be channel 3 or 4.\n\nI am not sure but certain recievers may already connect to your PC via USB or another connection. Check your manual or the Dish Network website (support/help section) for more information.

I have Direct TV and they're great only about $50. Try them. Comcast is a monopoly.

You cannot get a channel other that provided by the provider. DTH only gives you the channels which are free to air, hence you may have only a few ones avalable for you, if you are here in India.

Go through your cable company or get a wireless NIC and borrow a neighbors connection.

lots of problems with sky, mainly due to loss of reception in poor weather, but that can't be helped im afraid since the reception of the signal depends on the line of sight from the sattelite to your dish being clear, ie no clouds, heavy rain, snow etc. NTL/Telewest are good providers, but again the same applies because they get their programme contents from sattelites, only difference being they use huge dishes whereas your home dish is probably a standard 60cm dish, so though signal loss is possible in bad weather even with cable, its not as likely, the big plus side is, the broadband and phone packages availale with cable, they more than make up for any tv disruption, so have a look at NTL/Telewest packages

I don't think so. You can rather hide the TV!\n\n\n\n\n\n--- LeeeN
