okla. Since you claim u 2 are diff person...
i tell u this...
dun bother buying... they are gonna make u pay for programs you
dont need.. These channels are already free in the first
place.
Do a search for online tv stations, and u will get them for free.
The video on most is no good... very grainy... 
but of cos... if u die die still want to pay and watch tv on the
pc... i reckon u go buy a hardware... tat u connect it to ur
cable...or satellite receiver then to the internet. it comes with a
software tat allows u to watch tv all over the world..
its costly.. but hey.. at least u noe wad u r buying for...
