Default Connecting to Computer


Hi all, I'm new to this and need some advice. I have a satellite dish on my outside wall and want to run an aerial from it to the TV card in my computer.
Is it possible and if so which box and lead would I require?
Many Thanks. Blackjack.

right think you need a good read around the forums first m8 this one and others,and learning the proper terminology,by wanting to run an aerial from dish if (and im guessing) you mean a cable from dish to P.C.,then yes if its a sat tv card ,no if its say a freeveiw card,as a satellite dish will not pick up aerial signals,you wont need a box if you have a card in your pc and only want to play about on your P.C with basic channels,and sat cable and f-connecters (plugs for sat dish)should be available from your local hardware store,
probably best to be a bit more specific,ie,what tv card you have,what sat your dish points at what channels you want etc
