Reply:You can watch TV on PC just installing one piece of software.
Reply:If your PC allows you to watch TV through it, it should have a socket in the back of the tower where you can plug a normal satellite cable in to. If you have Windows XP Media Centre as the system operator of your PC, once this cable is plugged in you should just be able to start up the Media Centre and watch/pause/record/rewind live TV. If you have a different system, you should be sent through an installation process of some sort to open the TV viewing the next time you switch on your computer after plugging in the cable.
