Hi,
I'm just about to buy an iMac, not the new model but the older one and I would like to ask you If it's there a possibility to use it as a TV with a satellite. I'm completely lost in these thinks because I'm newbie so I dont even know what kind of satellite I should by or what kind of dish or how to set that up with the iMac, so if anybody of you had a similar problem please HELP :)
 
And...how is this urgent?

There are dongles you can buy that will do video-in, but the iMac is generally not known for being good as a display for anything other than itself. I tried it myself with one of the Elgato devices and the results weren't good. If you intend to use the screen for multiple sources, buy a Mac Mini and a good Dell monitor with lots of inputs or something.
