Answer 1

You need a satellite TV card for your PC (check www.maplin.co.uk), but you won't be able to get any of the SKY channels - only the free to air ones...

Answer 2

Try downloading TVU Player or PP Mate or PP Live Net, you can get lots of programs and its all free!

Hi odidis,

For free TV on your PC from all over the world without having to add any hardware you need to download FDR Lab's "AnyTV". It is a free program that will bring you "thousands" of TV stations from all over the world.

In the real world I get about 25 to 30 channels in English. I filter out other languages.

You can get the software free from PC Worlds download site. Go here  -  http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fi...

The first time you run the software it will ask you if you want to run a channel list. Click on "Yes". It will take a couple minutes to finish then click on "Close" to see a list of available channels. To avoid having to hunt through all of the foreign language channels click the "All Countries" drop down menu and select the location you want to see.  To limit your choices to TV or Radio etc click the icon at the top of the screen.

Now choose a channel and click the "Play" button at the bottom center of the screen and you can start watching.

Answer 5

You can't...You can find a pirate system online,but when they catch you, you'll spend the rest of your life paying off the fine. The days of the cheap "black box" are gone.

Answer 6

There are a few free satellite tv software applications out there but most aren't worth your time. Satellite TV subscriptions can cost up to $300 and that's not including the installation fee. Cable Tv services are just as expensive. Watching satellite TV on your computer through specialized software is a good option because you save on the enormous costs need for traditional services. If you have an internet connection then you can get satellite tv on your pc. I did find one good site that lists most of the major satellite tv software providers and members vote on each service. You can quickly determine which service is the best by what the public has voted for. Check it out here. http://www.easytvpc.com

Answer 8

Try this software.

http://www.watch-satellite.com

Its only one time pay off and you will receive almost 2,000 channels world wide. But I don't know if you will get all the channels from your area. And it's not compatible with Mac users

Answer 9

All those free to air offers sucked til I recently found an article review about some satellite TV software for numerous satellite channels and many other programs on PC or Laptop. The review is at http://freesatellitetchannels.fateback.c... . It should interest you, I found it useful myself.
