Question PCTV card setup

A friend of mine wants to install a digital PCTV card.
What is the best way for her to get digital tv on her pc? (running XP home)
She has asked me, if she got Sky multiroom could she connect the sky box to a pctv card?
Where she has her pc is limited for space, so she can't put a tv there.
Any help, or advice, on getting her pc set up for digital tv would be extremely welcome.

Default Re: PCTV card setup

Hi there, you basically just need a TV tuner card and the accompanying software.

As for sky, that's easy, just connect the sky box up to the TV in on the PC card using coax cable, interfacing (ie setting what to record and changing channels) through the PC card remote/software may be a bit of a pain however, you will still be able to control everything through the sky remote and watch the resulting signal on the pc, you would just have to ask the card vendor about this.

I hope this helps
