Re: Telewest on PC

You could get a pair of "video sender" things.

One would connect to the STB, & wirelessly transmit the output to a 2nd unit connected to the PC's TV card.

You can get ones with RF in/out, & also I think SCART in/out.

Not sure how much they cost, but I've seen e.g. "DigiSenders" in Maplin. Various makes, features, etc.

Also, some can relay remote control signals (although not all can relay ntl/TW remote signals), so it may be possible (if it supports it), to point your remote at the sender thing by the PC upstairs, to change the channel on the STB downstairs.
