My TV broke. Can I connect the HDMI cable from my DISH satellite receiver box to my laptop to watch TV until I fix TV or buy a new one? Laptop is HP Envy and has an HDMI slot.
 
Solution
No. That's an HDMI output not input. Connecting two output devices together is like plugging an extension from the wall to the wall.

Is that not an option
