Default Sky digi-sender to a PC?

In article , not (n) writes:

n I'd be interested to know this too. From what I've read about one of those

n aerial feed (so I still have coax trailing through the flat). Be very

n also the local end!

Depends what you mean. You can get simple adapters to go from scart to
composite video inputs as you might have on a computer, but to go to
an aerial connection you need a modulator which will essentially
pretend to be a TV transmitter.

I'm sure Maplin sell them, though you may be able to get them cheaper
elsewhere.

I have a sender reciever pair running from my telewest box to the
other end of the flat where it connects (through a Heath Robinson
arangement of adapters I happened to have) to a USB tv/video adapter
plugged into my Windows machine. Works reasonably, but interference on
the sound is noticable. If I care about what I have on I listen
through wireless headphones.
