Sorry Quantum, I must have given you the wrong impression ::) I have got three working freeview boxes. It's the free football channels I'm after. for instance, I just watched the Manchester United---Newcastle match on my PC. This was broadcast on Skye sports one, a pay per view channel, it didn't cost me a penny, BUT, the graphics were not good.

I don't know sorry, the legality of any such solution there will be legally tenuous, the best you can do is find somewhere that streams it over the internet (the quality will always be poor or the internet would start melting) or tune a satellite in to a foreign television channel.

 ;D Billy as I mentioned before I have one PC runnig a card with usual supplied plug in ariel. I find quite the opposite regarding quality. With the portable ariel you have to move this around just as any indoor one. Depending where you are in the house picture quality can be reasonable to downright crap.
On the other hand streaming internet international tv to pc is excellent. Just installed software from Dishnet £27 (my card was nearly £50). Can get hundreds of tv channels from around the globe and most are of excellent quality,Brazil/italy/usa/china etc. Admittedly lots of shopping/religious ones,but plenty of movies/wildlife and up to date sports from italy/spain and UK including Setana. You can add channels as you find them,many others to add to your important stuff >:D.
One thing to note is to always right click and run as Administrator when you first open program.Time zones come into play but at our PM time all the stations in north/south america are up and running.
cheers

graphics tend to be poor on any internet program if you dont have a reasonable graphics card and processor.

Not really related, you need a decent processor to run high bit rate programs, but that's it, the quality looks the same no matter what processor your running it on.
