Re: tv on computer

There is also a nice bit of freeware you could use. Its called 'Zattoo' and it's got quite a few channels to view. I live in England and I'm not sure it works in the States but you should check it out. Here's the link:

I'm pretty sure it will work with your comp, but I'm not great with that stuff so... who knows?
