You can run your cable to you DVD/VCR as to have everything hooked up and be able to record if you like from you cable - it is just easier to have everything hooked up. It doesn't have to be on when you are not using it as there are buttons for TV/VCR/DVD etc.
depending on the tv you could use different a/v inputs. if it is basic cable it can be connected to antenna input on the satellite receiver will work as if connected strat to the TV. if it is a digital cable box the first is only option.
You need a converter box connected to your own antenna or subscribe to cable or a satellite service.
Cable generally is more reliable than satellite dishes due to it's physical nature. It's connected directly from the supplier to your television instead of intercepting signals using a dish. While severe weather can affect your cable line, a satellite dish can be knocked out by mere rain.
No, the cable will not work when the satellite is out. The satellite is what brings you the picture. If you are concerned about the satellite, I would stay with cable.
satellite, you can steal it... lol cable is probably
The only advantage that satellite internet has over cable, is that in certain locations where cable is unavailable, usually satellite will provide television services.
It is absolutely connected via an ISP. ISP just stands for Internet Service Provider. It can be dial-up, DSL, cable or satellite.
no.
Satellite seems to be just a little faster than digital cable. Also outages are less frequent with satellite than they are with cable. If they do occur they are always much shorter in duration than the cable.
It is unlikely. Most portable televisions do not have the right hook ups to be connected to the equipment.
A tv source, such as cable tv, satellite, or an antenna. You install them to the card and it allows you to watch and record tv signals...
The short answer is yes and no. Yes you can if you are not passing HD satellite. All you need is 2 "diplexer(s)" (looks like a splitter, but isn't). at one end connect the satellite and cable. run the line to your tv, and split back to your satellite and cable. The Diplexer is labelled "tv" and "satellite".
