TV Online - ADVICE PLEASE !

Please excuse my complete ignorance here both in terms of my simple question but also if I have posted in the wrong forum.

I have purchased a new PC with Windows XP together with a "Dual TV tuner & digital analogue".

I have NTL Broadband as well as digital TV services on my TV such as Sky Sports etc.

All I want to do is watch conventional UK channels such as BBC & ITV , freeview but also possibly kids TV channels such as CBBC,Nickleodeon junior,Disney channel, etc.

In simple idiots terms please can someone advise me as to exactly what I may need to download in order to watcg these TV channels ?Is there any recommended/best TV software for my purposes ?

Any advice appreciated.

Best regards

Your in the wrong forums - this is for Visual Basic development.

A bit of advice would be to look for Windows XP media Center edition which may help, and/or the provider of you video tuner card.

I'm not sure you can purchase Media Center directly (most come installed on new machines) but Vista Ultimate will include all the media center stuff as well, but you'll need to wait until january for that.

I would contact the vendor of the tuner card as well as posting here:
