For a laptop (or any computer) to receive signals from a satellite you must add a receiver card. This could be external (USB interface) or internal (PCMCIA for a laptop, PCI for a regular PC).

You could hypothetically do that but it would require purchasing some expensive equipment and the setup would be somewhat complicated. In addition, you need a satellite receiver set top box to receive the satellite signal. You cannot use your computer as a satellite receiver. The easiest way to accomplish what you want is to buy a TV tuner card, tune the tuner card to channel 3 or 4, then attach the satellite receiver to the tuner card. Or you can purchase a video card that has RCA inputs and hook up the satellite receiver that way. You can convert your PC to a TV, but you cannot convert it into a satellite receiver. And last but not least, and even easier, you can purchase software for 50 bucks that will allow you to tune into hundreds of satellite tv channels vis the internet.

What does searching for satellite signal mean when trying to hook up a satellite receiver and TV in a campground?
My wild guess would be: The satellite antenna you brought with you to the campground is not accurately pointed at the satellite you're trying to receive from, and consequently the receiver can't hear the bird. Either that, or else there are trees in the way between you and the satellite. Whatever the specific root cause, that message means the receiver isn't hearing any satellite signal. So in addition to the suggestions above, some others are: -- a bird sat on the end of the feed at the focus of the dish, and dropped a moist, radio-opaque load on it; -- the cable came loose at the dish; -- the cable got pinched in a hinge somewhere between the dish and the receiver, and broke; -- the cable came loose at the back of the receiver; -- a power supply failed somewhere, and the LNB at the dish isn't getting any power; -- the "front end" of the receiver has failed;
