You have the DTH connection at your home for the television. You are confused that it can be connected to your desktop or not. Here i am clearing all your doubts , You can connect the DTH to your desktop to watch television. But it cannot be connected to your desktop directly. To connect your DTH to the desktop some other hardware is required. After installing that hardware you can directly connect the DTH to you desktop.

You can watch television on your desktop by connecting the DTH to your desktop. Provided that your desktop should have the TV Tuner card installed. TV Tuner card is a hardware which is placed in one of the PCI slots of the motherboard of your computer. After installing the device install the software of the device from the CD which is given with the Hardware. The cost of this device might be around Rs.1500. Pinnacle is well known brand for TV Tuner cards.

You'd need to get a special hardware card with a TV tuner. I recommend using Leadtek WinFast cards. Google them to find where to buy...
