AS far as I know, not live TV unless you have a TV-in card for your PC, however you can watch most (if not all) BBC programs from their online "iplayer" for up to a week, and itv programs on thier "itv on demand"

Live TV is what i ment. How much does a decent TV tuner go for. And is there anything else you would need? Or is it just plug and play.

maybe cables?

well a quick look just now looks like they go from about £20 upwards, and I think some come with aerials, so no extra stuff would be needed, but some I'm guessing would need a connection to the aerial on the roof of you house/flat etc. But to legaly use these you have to have a TV licence, which you probably have, if you have a TV in your home allready, you have a licence, if your unsure, ask your parents/carers.

We do have a license.
But, we do not use aerial's we use a box. ( sky+ ) basicly cables that link the box to other cables running under the street we live on.

oh, ok, it might be easier to get one that has an aerial with it then, I'm not sure there are ones that work with Sky+, However the ones for the computer, as far as I know, only allows the freeview channels, so you won't be able to have your sky channels on them.
