Here in the UK I have cable TV, but sometimes in the middle of the football the picture freezes and the sound stutters so I switch to terrestial TV so I can watch the match uninterupted. I guess when terrestial TV stops broadcasting and there is a problem with the cable tv I will have to make do with a crap picture on the internet.

Has anyone ever purchased that download program that turns your p/c into a T.V. capable of receiving up to and over 2000 channels through the internet ? I wonder if it is any good ?

Those programs are usually crap. If your looking at watching tv on the internet your best bet is to stay with the free sites like hulu.com and tv.com and im willing to bet there are some more good free sites out there.

For the football, I use myp2p.eu/ and they have other TV channels on the site too.

They use software like Sopcast etc.

If you want to watch TV on your computer buy a TV TUNER card. It's basically the same as a graphics card and let em tell ya, it ROCKS! I use an ATI TV WONDER 650 COMBO: http://ati.amd.com/products/tvwonder650/pcie/index.html and I absolutely LOVE IT! I subscribe to Beyond TV http://www.snapstream.com/products/beyondtv/ to view my cable and local (some in HD) channels, but there are free programs as well. Get a TV card and you will NOT be disappointed, I guarantee it!
