satellite TV to your PC

Does anyone know anything about this.

Lots of websites selling these gizmos.

they say just plug in and you can receive up to 3000 stations. Sounds too good to be true.

We spend some of our year in the West Indies and the American TV is rubbish.
We would love to pick up UK stations and the sport.

We wouldn't be able to plug the PC into a tv socket.

Any help would be gratefully received

Many thanks jayed2

It is too good to be true, you will receive for your money a PDF via email with links in that have streaming TV links - most links are dead and lots of dubious sites too.

If you've got broadband out in the w'indies then a slingbox is an option

You may want to look at this application, JLC's Internet TV. It's a freeware application which gives you a TV like look. It automatically searches for available streams which it puts in a "channels" list, which you can filter, that it keeps updating.
