Connecting my motorised system to laptop

shane77

Hi I'm wanting some advice please, basically I have a tm1500 motorised system, I want to be able to control the dish via the TM but be also able to view the pics on my laptop.

This is all so I can view 4.2.2 feeds, the connector needs to be usb with it going into a laptop, I assume this will be easier than to keep changing cables to control the dish via the tm and then via the computer.Any help advice links products ideas much appreciated.

Thanks.

to view 4:2:2 feeds you will need a usb sat card the laptop just wont decode a signal from the reciever to the laptop

Yep I know, a 'card' won't fit into the laptop, needs to be a box a tricks?

This is really the wrong section to ask the question, as you are asking about PC based satellite receivers. Will move it to the Satellite by PC section.

There are probably a lot less people than you'd think using laptops for satellite reception, but I would imagine that the Skystar USB will do 4.2.2, as the PCI version does.
