    I'm wondering is there any service where I could watch free to air channels on my laptop without need for a dish etc.?

    I know its possible on a mac with a piece of hardware and software that you can buy should be on the apple store
    I've seen a good few of them advertised and reviewed
    do you know what channels are free to air?
    came across this channel recently thought I'd share

    also joost http://www.joost.com/ might suit you and miro http://www.getmiro.com/ (plays youtube etc and podcasts) are good online video services

    Channel 4's On Demand service works in Ireland.
    It's Windows only though.

    There's also Sky On Demand if you have Sky, which is also Windows only.

    The next poster that mentions the use of proxy servers as a means to defeat the BBC iplayer will face a lengthy ban. Also no linking to illegal sites that allow copyright infringement.

    Last warning folks.

    Watch South Park free and legal. It was posted in Bargain alerts ages ago and still working my way through the episodes. Just click on an episode from the finder on the homepage.
