If you get a Sky HD box which is connected to the net, not a satellite dish, you can get every single channel. The boxes are about £180, then £60 every six months to keep access.

But you wouldn't be interested in breaking the law, would you.

The problem with Amazon is they sell stuff, they aren't into making computer parts.Intel do just that.And Amazon get people to make chips etc for them.Or maybe i am wrong.

I can see in the future that you'll have a PC that is a tv in your lounge or hologram television.Microsoft and Apple will be making software etc for PCvisions next.Panasonic make the screens or whoever and intel make the hardware.So it's an Intel powered pc/tv with a screen made by Panasonic and Apple, Amazon or Microsoft doing the menus etc.Sounds good to me.

Rumours are card sharing will be dying soon - at least for the HD channels. Plenty of legitimate reasons to us it except you'll still be breaking Sky terms!
