I am just learning a little about streaming, and i have read people watching sky sports on there computers.
Is this easy to do, and do you need any software.
So where would i start to do this to see what its like....
You don't actually need a tv to watch and record tv stations on your pc, you can buy a tv tuner card for your pc, then all you need is a program to use the card, i.e gigapocket and the likes.
Most programes come with the capabilities of recording tv.
Streaming usually works in the opposite anyways i.e pc to tv.
Here is a card recomended by a few people i know, its the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150
Used with an analog cable.
let me know if this was helpful and how you get on.

Hello pegasis...
Sorry if i have worded the post wrong.
What i have read about, is that some people watch sky sports (ie.a football match on there computer's if they do not have sky sports on there tv.
This is even without a tv tuner card, is this called "streaming live tv" to your computer over the internet
Anyway all i wanted to know is How would i do this (ie. watch a football match from sky sports on my computer without a tv tuner card, my friend used to do this but has since moved, and he did not have a tuner card installed.
I can only think of he must have gone to some sky sports web-site to do this, i have tryed but got know where, or i went to the wrong site...

Hope this helps. let me know.
Hey, thats great pegasis, i will just try that for 30 days, i have sky anyway but not sky sports.
But on the other hand , after doing alot of searching i had found this site
to be honest the quality and likeliness of problems vairies from site to site, all i will suggest is that you run a virus and spyware check after using this site and if all checks out ok i see no problem as to why it would cause you any problems.
You'r right with the differences between the 2, so if your getting to watch what you want i see no need to use sky player after the 30 day trial.
Been looking at http://www.myp2p.eu/ and after a little search it looks promising.
I will keep a look out for any more worthwhile sites and post em here if i find any.
