    There is a software program that can do this, i saw in on QVC the other week, but i dont remember what it was called..

    There is also this site http://wwitv.com/portal.htm it's a bit hit and miss on what channels you can actually watch, but if you get desperate for sometyhing to watch..

    Also check this out, there are some real cheap TV tuner cards, it's in £ because im from the UK, but it'll give you some idea http://shopping.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/search?fromform=true&siteSearchQuery=PC+TV+tuner+cards&x=0&y=0
