As we use exclusively Satellite TV, I have often wondered if there was a way of using computer monitors rather than actual TV's to view the output. But the connectors are different.
Can it be done and is there a solution to the different connectors question.
Even better would be a way to do it wirelessly with a video-sender - but again - video senders (and receivers) have SCARTS but monitors do not.
Hope someone who understands the technicalities can help. Jeremy

SCART to VGA cables are available,
eg.

Computer monitors have a scan rate that is much higher than a TV. You need a special adapter to go from SCART to VGA that will electronically convert the TV signal to something that the computer monitor can use. It may be easier to outfit your PC with a video-capture device and then use your PC as a TV.

unless you have a TV card in your computer you will not get a picture because a monitor cannot convert the signal to show on the screen normally the signal that comes out of a digi box is a normal TV signal or a HD signal and a monitor cannot work with this.
