  • Yup! All you need is a tv card and then an aerial cable to go into it! Many USB Tv cards going arouind these days.

    Just to warn you if ANYONE posts links with website addresses and tv on them, they are illegal and use P2P Streaming Servers. So staying within the law a tv card is the way forward.

    If you know anyone subscribed to Sky they're eligible for Sky Anytime (SkybyBroadband) where you can watch movies, sports and some top shows like Lost legally and free using their software!

  • lol I meant like parents/relatives that dont use the Sky Anywhere subscription hehe! I use my parents while at uni for example!

    Sorry not too sure what your last comment meant :) But with a tv card or a digital tv card you have to plug an aerial into it as the signal to get the tv. Theres no way to receive the channels through the internet legally.

    Channel 4 have also just released an On Demand service called 4OD where you can watch shows on the computer. I think they cost though like 50p a show etc
