Can I connect my TV to my laptop?
I got a small device from my ISP that I can use to have channels on my TV. At the moment I do not have a TV and therefore I want to connect this device to my laptop.
Can that even happen? So for example: can I now watch Pro7 or Sat1 on my laptop as if it were a TV?
Does the device, I suspect receiver, an HDMI output, and the laptop has an HDMI input?
Most stations also provide their TV program as a stream.
Pro7: https://www.prosieben.de/livestream
Sat.1: https://www.sat1.de/livestream
What kind of "apparatus" did you get that exactly?
Is it a TV stick, a satellite / TV receiver or any other "device"?
Without knowing that, you can't tell if and if so how you can connect this to a PC / laptop.
If the "device" has an HDMI output, you could use this e.g. Connect to the laptop with the help of a capture card.
If the "device" has a USB port, you could also connect it directly to the laptop. Here you also need the right software.
No.
Laptop do not have HDMI or other video input.
Okay many thanks ^^
Unfortunately you get the message "for copyright reasons not possible…" with both livestreams.
With Pro7 and Sat1, almost nothing is free except for receiving via Astra in SD format.
It is a TV receiver, so where you can unlock channels, I think. And have everything controlled and it is not possible to connect this receiver with my laptop.
Nevertheless, many thanks for your detailed answer.
No, unfortunately not.
So as I see this, my receiver has an audio port, USB port, and now noticed, he also has a HDMI port and another connection with a TV sign, but do not know what that is.
Could you please explain briefly what Scart is exactly? And what exactly is a capture card?
Simply put, SCART is the connection that was used before HDMI on TV sets. You can read it here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/...wiki/SCART
A capture card is a small device that has a video input (with a current HDMI input) and this signal to the PC / laptop forwards, so that you can reproduce the signal (picture and sound) with the PC / laptop and / or record.

Achso, thank you.
And one more small question (sorry ^^), I have read of another comment that eg Pro7 gives the message that this would not be possible to "watch TV" on a laptop but why? I pay for the receiver, why should not it be possible?
Krass how much you know about this topic thank you then for your help.
Part of the knowledge, as far as the capture card is concerned, I researched myself when I was thinking about buying one. The other part is then experience, which I then made myself with my Capture Card.
How to leverage the HDCP signal, I have now researched and applied the same time. The result can be seen here in the picture. My laptop screen with the SAT receiver connected via the capture card.
Even the connection of my Blu-ray player via the capture card works problehmlos.
