Mid-2010 27" iMac be used as a monitor for a satellite receiver.
I'll soon be getting a new iMac. Can I then use my mid-2010 27" iMac as a monitor for a satellite receiver, using the HTML/Mini-display adaptor?

It's always exciting to get a new Mac! I understand you'd like to find options for your older iMac, specifically as a monitor. You're in the right spot for help with this.
Your older iMac is compatible with Target Display Mode, which means that you can use it as a second monitor for another Mac. Check out this article for details:
Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode
You'll need a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable for your older iMac, and either a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt connection on the other Mac. Note that your iMac will only act as a second monitor for other Mac computers, so iOS devices, Windows computers, and other sources will not be compatible.
Enjoy your weekend!
