    Hey. Not sure if this goes here, it was a judgement call.


    Anyway, I don't have a television in my barracks room, but I'd still like to watch television. I'd like to know if there are any applications or websites that would let me watch my local cable channels (CNN, SpikeTV,FOX, etc). Anyone know of anything like that?

    I don't know how you are bringing in your internet but I have Cable. The same cable that brings in my internet brings in my TV channels. I have a TV tuner built in to two of my computers. (media edition Gateway) & (Sony Vaio) and I bought a USB TV tuner for my iMac. All three have there own software which changes channels, controls volume, ect.... \

    Here are some for PC

    now the Hauppauge is one of my favorite name brands for TV cards, I have had a lot of luck with them.
    The last one brings in HDTV. Now you said Barracks, Im stationed at Ft, Bragg NC and I can bring in 10 HDTV stations coming from Laurenburg and Fayetteville for free. Though with a simple $40.00 antenna you can get anywhere like Radio Shack or Home depot you can bring in TONS of free stations. Look here
    www.antennaweb.org
    it will show you all the analog and digital signals in your area.
    good luck

    I wish there was some HD out here. I'm in El Paso, Texas, at Fort Bliss. There's almost nothing out here :cry Thanks for the recommendations.
