Silliness aside, Fishy, the signal has to come from somewhere, even wirelessly it needs to receive the signal somehow, either via the TVs aerial or via its own.

Of course, I'm discounting those on cable, hello! now there's another thought, can you directly decode the Sky signal piped down the telephone line? illegal, really :eek:

As has been mentioned, your best signal will come from your TV aerial/TV output or a set top box such as a Sky or Saturn/Telstra decoder.

It's a blimmin good idea with the Rugby World Cup coming up very soon. Erm, anyone got a spare projector :cool:

581323 2007-08-15 12:05:00 If you have an unused Sky dish on your roof I would recommend getting a DVB-S TV card so you can make use of Freeview.
Otherwise look at a Hauppauge PVR150 or similar.

581324 2007-08-15 20:10:00 Thanks for the help guys .

I think i'm gonna pass for two reasons . 1) My computer is nowhere near my tv aerial cable and 2) what's the point of it really if you have to plug it into an aerial? may as well invest in a DVD recorder that records onto a HDD .

Cheers .
