My partner and I divide our time between our two separate houses (150 miles apart). Because he is a sports addict he pays for SKY by satellite in both locations. Broadband has just arrived at my place; could he now cancel 'my' subscription and get his fix via my PC because he genuinely has a valid subscription?
He could buy a slingbox which would allow him to watch his own tv, including recordings on a hard drive recorder such as a Sky box, from anywhere in the world where he has internet connection.
That is a very interesting site Barry - are you connected?, I wonder if there would be an installer locally. Both myself and my partner are the opposite of techno-nerds, (techno-prats?)and would undoubtedly **** everything up if we tried doing anything with wires and buttons ourselves.
