Connecting a TV decoder to a computer?

Question

Hello,

I have just acquired a TV decoder and a Neufbox, but I do not own a television yet. However, I have a laptop with an HDMI port, and during the installation, I have the option to connect my decoder with an HDMI cable. My question is, what will happen if I connect my decoder to my laptop using the HDMI cable?

Thank you in advance for any responses that could help resolve my issue.

Thanks,
Have a good evening everyone

no because the HDMI port on your laptop is an "output" port so it won't work.
you need an "input" HDMI port, the HDMI port on your laptop is used if you want to add a second screen

you connect the decoder to the PC screen, and not to the PC (well, I don't think so) -- to each problem its solution. a problem can have several solutions/several problems can have one solution

Re-Good evening,  But would the TV work on my PC?

if you connect the decoder to the PC screen yes, but if you connect the decoder to your tower (via the GPU), I don't know (I don't think so)

But since it's a laptop, I don't have a tower, so the HDMI port should be connected to the screen and it should work, right?

In any case, thank you very much for your quick responses and your explanations, it's nice :)
