Connecting TV box to my Desktop tower

KristofD

I only have one LCD screen (with one HDMI port) wich is connected to my Desktop tower.

Is there a possibility to connect the Swisscom TV Box to my tower and be able to watch TV? Currently, I have to switch the HDMI cables to my LCD screen in order to operate each. I do not have any other type of cables like SCART…

Regards,

Kristof

Hi @KristofD

Maybe a HDMI switch with 2 inputs and 1 output is a good solution. I would prefer a second screen only for TV, so I could use both simultaneously.

Your LCD monitor probably has more than one single video input. It may only have one HDMI input, but it may well also have a DVI or VGA input and you should be able to find a way of feeding the video from your PC in one of those formats, possibly through a specific interconnection cable. Otherwise the solution of a dual-input single output HDMI switch (for example http://www.lindy.ch/Compact-HDMI-Switch-2-Port-4K-Bidirektional-2:1-sowie-1:2.htm?websale8=ld0101.ld070101π=38036) would be easy to implement.

But then why not just login and watch TV online. You dont need the Box.
