Now this STB has an HDMI port .. as do my laptop ..So can I connect this STB directly to my lappy? and use windows media center to configure it..Logically I shouldn't be able to connect without a tv tuner card .. But nothing wrong in asking 😀so wht I understand is tht I can't connect it directly and will need a TV tuner card with HDMI option .. is tht right?
 
i might be very wrong here. but i think both HDMI ports are for video output. 😛
 
yep as far as i know, HDMI from laptop is for output not for input. not 100% sure though.
 
unless of course the computer is the imac which is designed to use the display as an input source. 😀 i have heard people buying imacs purely for their display which is connected to a PC because it turns out to be a cheaper deal compared to having a mac in the house with a LCD display.
 
haha, good idea
