I have recently thought about sort of enhancing the pc usage to a 'sort of' TV. Now I have a set top box box of my TV service provider and at the back of this set top box, there are two ports (apart from the scart, dvi, RC usual ports) one which is:

Cable in (And there is the cable coming from their substation) and
Loop out (which is empty and similar to the coaxial cable port).

Now coming to my question. If I connect a coaxial cable from the 'loop out' to a usb tv tuner, will this (the loop out) work as a tv 'reception'?

I have the following (http://www.ebay.com/itm/DVB-T-fr-LAPTOP-PC-MINI-DIGITAL-TV-Tuner-USB-Stick-HDTV-/150878534017?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5132107881539089073%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D150878534017%26) usb tuner in mind, where I will eliminate the stupid antenna included with it and connect the coaxial cable to the usb peripheral.

Am i correct with my thinking? .. Thanks a lot for any help :)

never heard of the device ,but i google abit and it seems to be a wireless TV device ,that does not plug into your tv ,but into your laptop ,found this info on one site.

Notice:
1.It can't work in Brazil and USA ,As it is terrestrial antenna input,buyers need to make sure the city where you living have been opened DVB-T wireless digital television signals before you make purchase!
2.Pls make sure your format isnt MPEG-4,we can not support MPEG-4 format.
