If I want to watch TV channels in my desktop PC, Do I just need a Box? or Do I need an antenna too?
Question by Fist_on_fire: If I want to watch TV channels in my desktop PC, Do I just need a Box? or Do I need an antenna too?
Well, I was looking on ebay, and I found so many offers of box, that tells me that I can watch hundreds or thousands of channels in my PC, But my question is, If I but one of them, what else do I need? i read of the software too... But do I need an antenna? what kind of cable does it have?
and they sells TV cards too, how do they work? what do I need?
By the way, I downloaded a software named Slingplayer, but when I start it, it says "No Slingbox found", what kind of box do I need?
Thanks for reading and I Hope you could help me!!!

Those software that claim hundreds to thousands of channels are scams, avoid them. They just sell links to internet streams that you can get for free, and none of them are the major channels you probably want.
To avoid the scams, you would do it with your own TV source.
You will want some sort of hardware that can present the TV you now can receive to your computer. A Slingbox is one way, a tuner/capture card is another.
