Sky Alternatives

[davhill]

'Morning All,

The time has come to find something less costly than Sky TV. Here are my details and if anyone can suggest good alternatives,I'd be ever so grateful

Kit:-

32" Samsung flatscreen, HD ready
One Terrier Bite Sky box, with on-demand WiFi thingy
Sky dish
Ancient Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop (if relevant)
LA9 6QX post code

What I like to watch :-

Usual terrestrial stuff: Beeb, ITV, C4, etc.
Watch/Discovery for Wheeler Dealers, How It's Made, Mythbusters, etc.

Film 4
Yesterday
Drama

I don't care about the sports channels and have zillions of films on DVD. I'd like to be able to record TV if possible.

I haven't connected the laptop to the TV (dunno how).
I don't need any of the smut content - seen less silicone under a touring car's bonnet.

Gentlemen, the floor is yours...

(PS: Mods, please move this if I put it in the wrong forum. Thanks)

STOP PRESS: I have a SKY SC201 Wireless Connector Box that's working. Can I send the computer
monitor signal to the TV via this?
