This looks interesting. I pay Sky $70.00 per month. This is much better. How could I connect this to my main TV, in a different room from my computer?

Sorry if I'm being stupid and missing something, but isn't this just the satellite version of the FloppyDTV?

I know lots of people in the cable forums use them (myself included) and swear by them, and have done for a couple of years. I know the satellite version isn't new, so I'm a bit confused why this is news. Not trying to rain on your parade Dean83, just confused so thought I'd ask.

Demilspencer - this is an add-on card for a PC that allows the PC to connect to and read the feed (satellite, cable, etc depending on model). You wouldn't be able to connect it directly to your TV unless you fancy building another PC round it.
