For viewing TV in computer u must required TV tuner card internal or external. As far as I know subcriber of Dish TV or Tata Sky they will give u only on receiver unless u applied for more than one. It is also not permisable
to connect two TV. If u wish to watch 2 TV from one connection u have to contact with the Dish TV dealer, they will charge u for another receiver only and also the subscription rate will be half.
Alternatively u can connect 2 tv through Y connection, but same channel will be shown in both the TV also the picture quality will be poor. So I think there is no benifit, better u contact with the dealer.

they said to download some drivers for it but i didn't found the drivers for download becoz the site which is providing downloads is in german.

hey thanks Mr.Utsav, and Mr.SkGhosh,

BtW there is some sort of COM port behind that settop box of Dish TV, i was wondering if we just plug it with computer will it do anything? [Though i don't have such wire]

But if someone has, plz try and let it be known to world what happens?

common is this a JOKE?

u wanna tell that a serial port can be used to stream video to a TV from the SET-TOP box?

man the serial ports function at 115 kbps...... even usb 2.0 which works @ 480 mbps becomes too narrow with higher detail pictures.....
lol

instead of TV, it should hae been PC..... ok?
