Sky on Demand?
 
Not live though I suppose. You can connect it but you need a TV card that let's you plug in a scart. I looked into it a while ago for CCTV so guess it works on the same principles. I'm sure you could record of it so you could have the Sky+ services for freeeeeeeee (not Sky Anytime though).
 
Something to look into I suppose but I'll stick to built in Freeview for now and Sky+ downstairs.
Many Thanks,

Ryan

There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician, the other is an artist in love with flight.

You either need a stand alone satellite box and then connect that via the composite in of a TV tuner card or get a satellite tuner capable TV card.
 
Or you could just extend the existing Sky box output to the composite input on your existing TV card (or graphics card) assuming one of them has an input via a radio video sender. Only get to watch what the sky box is tuned to then though.
