watching my Tv on pc

[BawA]

hi guys, i was wondering what should i have installed on my pc in order to watch my satellite stations(channels) on my pc.
i know i need Tv tuner but do i need decoder also?

[tesco]

I'm not sure if there is decoders for satelite for pc.
I'm sure there is but I've never seen. :idunno:

But one idea is to just hook up your receiver to the pc's tuner card/capture card and use it to tune the channels.

receiver means extra space which i dont have, i was wondering if there is a card for it.

[eh^]

DVB card .. acts like your reciever... codecs that you might req. are mpeg2 codecs (powerdvd, windvd, nvidia, elecard etc.)
