I was just on a friend's boat that had directv as well on the chartplotter and was wondering if you could network a computer to also display there as well?
In the case you saw the chart plotter has two inputs so you can connect the two signals without a network. I can do the same thing on my desktop monitor. DTV has some issues with networking that go beyond the scope of this forum. You would need a DTV DVR box to do that. Once you can integrate it to a computer network you can have a network on the boat. This actually is the direction all Instrumentation is headed toward
