how do i get artsports channel through satellite would any sats from maplins work?

Probably not - ART is encrypted so you need a suitable one that will take a subs card.

The choice of satellite receivers at Maplin is very limited. You are better off getting one from one of the many online suppliers. When you buy the card check what the requirements are before purchasing.

wonder if you can get it through the computer then use a cable to connect it to the tv?

Just look for a second hand Technomate TM1500 on ebay. They are perfect for Art

what is that? I only have cable not sky so don't have a dish.

You need a dish then. A 60cm dish from Maplins or Screwfix would do for Hotbird 13E

The TM1500 is a satellite receiver.

I think his comments were directed to the original thread starter.

In regards to your question you can stream football from a PC and connect to a TV very easily. All you need is a TV with a VGA input which is common these days, or a TV card in your PC.
