Hi, i have a Genius TVGo A11 Tv tuner card in my computer, we have sky in the lounge and thats it. I can pick up Sky movies one on my computer and can only hear the audio of it and cant see any image, but i can see the standard TV one, two, three and C4. Is there any way to see sky movies one on my computer? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks

Well you can run a rca cable from your skybox to your tv card. Or if your card is a bt878 based one, there are certain methods of viewing sky...I wont tell you how though.

It may say somewhere on the card, but you should google it to find out.

Yes, please keep them [tools/programs that allow one to 'break' skys encoding on broadcasts for the purposes of watching it for free] (or support of them for that matter) away from geekzone. Its also against our forum usage guidelines which may result in unpleasant things like bans being issued.

Running an RCA from your Sky box or any other supported connector would probably be the safest method.
