Wire muncher!
Get a TV tuner card (PCI for Desktop, PCMCIA/Express Card for Laptop). Use a normal RF Cable (the one which the cable wallas use) to connect tata sky receiver to the tv tuner card and put on the software. Tune into Tatasky freq.
Afaik you can't use AV to connect to computer directly without use of adaptors/digital tuners.

You can connect it to TV via AV cables and to your laptop/desktop's TV tuner via RF. Be warned however that the same channel will appear at both places. Other than paying them, there is no way for viewing different channels on both the sets without activating the 2nd output by paying them. Mebbe someone has hacked it; but I'm not aware of any such things, tho.

Yes you can use that cord to connect (coaxial). You need a tv tuner card first.

@infra,
The Tata Sky Engineer came to our house recently to shift the dish from the terrace of the building to the balcony because someone stole the connecting cable. So we complained to Tata Sky. They sent the engineer. He said he'll do it privately and report the complaint status to OK in the company (for less fees). We asked him whether it is possible to connect 2 TVs without payin 150. He said the same method which you said in post #5.

^^^ If you haf a bit older laptop you can get a PCMCIA/PC Card TV Tuner. Newer ones can get Express Card TV tuner (mebbe costly). Hafnt worked with USB tv tuner cards but they are available.

the traditional TV cable transmittion is analogue,
the signal in the coaxial wire is multi frequency analogue output(containing all individual channels)
what tata sky do, is they broadcast the digital signal using an encryption. the set top box decodes only one channel at a time and converts it to analog, which may be carried through the conventional looking cable wire. we have two ways, 1. to find a way to decode the signal on the pc(and find a way to connect the dish to the comp)
2. use the tata sky decoder, and rely on on the tata sky remote to change the channel.
