Sky TV via a USB device?
Hi all,
I already have a DVB-T device for my laptop but as I have a redundant Sky TV dish on my house I wondered about a similar device to get free to air sky channels?
I have an old Sky box (not with a card or anything) that I tried and that received all the free channels.

Re: Sky TV via a USB device?
however you wont get Channel 4, five, Five US, Five US +1, Fiver, Fiver +1 & Sky Three as these channels (although free) require a Sky Digibox & FTV card.
It wasn't recognised by the PC. I got a replacement and the same thing happened again. I'm worried that the signal level or power or something from the Sky digital LNB might be killing the little box or something? Could that be possible?
