Watching sky through a pc?

[vbartman]

Hi, and happy new year to everyone.

Just wondered if someone could tell me how to output from either my sky, or sky hd box to an all in one PC??, is there a program I could down load that would understand the sky output and display it through the monitor screeen?.

MANY THANKS BARTMAN.

if you have a legit sky sub have a look at this Watch TV from Sky online with Sky Player

I have a pci satellite card (skystar 2 hd) which works really well especially with the new W7 HD codecs

thanks guys, but i'd just like to use my screen to display the sky from my box, so that the wife can watch something different in the kitchen, off my other box.....

what output ports do you have on your monitor.?? different monitors have different options, for example i have a DVI on my monitor but my old one had a S Video and Audio

Hi every one happy new year. I have been trying to find out for a while now wether there was a pci/usb tv card (dvb-s) that is available which would give similar results as buying a dream box or one of the alternatives. I would really appreciate some input on this as I've been banging my head on this one for a while now.
Many Thanks, Keep up the good work Mods. And happy new year to the rest of Digital Kaos
