    Media center pc hook up to tv.

    I bought a new gateway computer media center. It has a tv tuner, which has a coax and a s video input. The problem I have is I have satelite tv. So, i have my coax going into my HD satelite reciever, but i have no coax of the receiver, only s video and component, or dvi. I was about to buy a 25 foot s video cable with rca, so i can get the video in and audio in, but i realized i dont have anywhere for the audio to go into. Does anyone have any expereince with this at all, as i am lost. thanks

      Your media center PC doesn't have any sort of audio inputs? That bizarre...

        you can get split your coaxial cable. Get a splitter and split it. Run 1 coax to your satellite "IN" like you have it now and run the other coaxial to your PC.
