Hi I have recently returned from a break away in the UK and whilst away I used a dongle to go online.
Is there a way I can use my computer as a TV ?
Thanks

Failure is only someone elses judgement.
Without change there would be no butterflies.
If its important to you, you'll find a way - if not, you'll find an excuse ! ~ Easy to say when you take money out of the equation!

You can watch almost all freesat/ freeview channels online at http://www.tvcatchup.com/
Of you can buy a dongle cheaply to receive DTV via the airMy user name is SkyInsider... I worked for Sky quite some time ago, also worked for Virgin Media and a few other tech companies as a consultant. All views are my own

What skyinsider suggested would be best as Internet Dongles are restricted in bandwidth. Something like this would be best,
