Can you connect a satellite receiver to your computer?

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.

Hey Pal,\n\nI think that you should use Serial Port witn a serial cable and use the hyperterminal program to config your reciever.\n\nCiao,

Isn't that for a satellite dish?  I'd ask your network provider...

Each "satellite" computer needs a wireless card/adapter in order to receive the router's signal.

If the PC has a TV card installed with S-video port then this is no problem. If not then connect via coax like mine.\nI have a freeview box connected to mine.\nJust change channels on the freeview but watch on the PC.

Despite the Rolling Stones song, you can't always get what you need. And everyone knows you don't always get what you want.\n\nSatellites broadcast to a fairly large footprint on the ground. So you can, if you're in its footprint, and with an appropriate antenna, properly aimed, and an appropriate low noise amplifier, receive a signal. Whether you can make sense of what you've received is quite something else altogether. TV satellite broadcasting is protected from indiscriminate reception with one or more technological tricks. You can, unless the box vendor is the FBI in desguise, buy 'descramblers' for satellite and cable TV signals in the backs of various magazines. On the Internet side, you presumably want to receive the contents of this or that web site, not just any old broadcast of Internet data, and so even if you can descramble (for free because you've got your own descrambling box now) a satellite signal, it won't be what you wanted. \n\nSo, you must have the ability to send control signals to the broadcast origin point (always a ground station somewhere, given the constraints on space and weight for these satellites). \n\nAnd they'll ignore you without an account (and so $ from you) for two reasons. You don't have an account on their computers which allows you to arrange for connections to the Internet (and the Web site you're after), and you don't have the appropriate authenticaiton to talk to the satellite so it will pass your control signals back to the ground station. \n\nSince satellites are expensive to design, build, launch, and maintain, there are no hobbyist groups providing free Internet access. without that, you're limited to commercial services (or government service if you're eligible) and they will universally require some sort of authentication (typically cryptographic at the information carrying level, and usually some raw signal based authentication as well) before you can use the system, and that will require a business relationship before they will set one up for you. And for that they will want a fee.\n\nI think you aren't going to get what you want. And you're probably not going to get what you need, if you define it as free Internet access by satellite. I recommend WiFi or something similar, if it's possible where you're located.

There are lots of different ways to achieve this. The most common connection now is from your PC to a LCD or DHP TV. They have built in HDMI connenctions just like a computer monitor. You can also use a DVI connection. If your TV has neither of these connections then your best bet is to forget the idea of hooking your PC to your TV because you are not going to get the results you really want.

do you mean to connect to the internet wirelessly or to get wireless internet??? \n\nif you want to connect to internet wirelessly then try this. this works on broadband so i don't know if it will work on satellite.\n\nConnect router to modem and set router to send wireless signals, then install wireless network card then search for access points and connect to your access point...

Your computer will have built-in wireless internet capability, so anywhere where there is an available wireless network, you can just flip the switch on the front right-hand side to turn on the wireless radio, then connect to the network using the wireless network wizard.\n\nAlternatively, you could get a really, really long Rj45 cable.

you'll need a wireless router and adapter for the other computer

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

Yes you can.It is a little roundabout. attach your laptop to main computer through lan cable. go to programs>accessories>communications>remote desktop connection.you have to assign IP address for Tower and Laptop.\nwhen laptop asks to connect where you give ip address of tower. Then enter user id of tower and password for tower.once logged in you will have the power of tower.

I don't think there are many, if any.\n\nYou might like to try a PBX adapter like http://techshop.earthlink.net/p10601:S0063012

Yes, you can downlink fro a satellite.  However most people do not have a sufficient power plant to uplike to a satellite.  There you need a hard wired connection,.
