Quick Question

You know the wireless devices you can get so you can watch Sky Digital in a different room to where the actual box is. Well i was wondering if i both the wireless thingy could i hook it up to my PC and watch TV through my TV?

So you want to know if you can hook your sky box to the transmitter and the PC to the receiver?

The answer is yes you can, but only if you have a TV card which takes the output from the receiver.
Most likely scart, so you'd be looking to go from SCART to RCA and would need a TV card with composite in.

I'm not great with computers, my dad got the newest PC from aldi, thats the PC i want this for, do you know if that PC has what is needed?

are you talking about that Bing Box yoke. or hooking the digital box up directly to ur PC?

If its the PC I'm thinking about they actually have scart out and Coax Arial in.
Neither of which would be suitable for a scart in or scart to composite in.
If you could give us the model number of the PC though I could probably have a look for you.

im ont sure if thats its proper name by the way. but what i'm talkning about is that grey box thing that you put the wire from ur digibox or cable box or whatever into it, then you have a cable from the box to ur PC, then you can watch TV on ur PC, or indeed and PC anywhere in the world through a server that runs on ur PC.

The thing im talking about is a wireless reciever and transmitter, transmitter plugs into TV/sky box in sitting room, reciever plugs into TV upstairs. You can view sky upstairs and change the channels.

As I mentioned those devices generally output the video via scart.
If you have the PC I'm thinking of then you don't have the neccessary hardware as standard to accept such connections.
If you give the model number of the PC (ie. Medion xxxx) then it will be easy enough to confirm.
