    hey guys,
    I was just checkin out some computer websites like pcworld, pcmagazine, etc etc. and came across a bunch of "sponsored links" about satellite TV on pc... Anyway I went to all those links, and they (the websites) claim that you can get thousands of television channels from across the world, on your computer via a satellite feed that you can download off of your internet connection... this includes live sports (ie NFL ticket, espn, etc etc etc), news, movies.... basically just about any television program being broadcasted, live or recorded!!!!

    First of all, is this for real? Has anyone tried it? I wanna know if you can actually watch all channels, especially local channels that are in english (not some crazy language from another country that I wouldnt want to watch)... Also, I live in chicago, IL, USA... is this legal in the U.S.???

    I would really like to get some input from the AD crew cuz u guys are awesome... I'm thinking that most of these sites charge around 50 USD one time payment, so even if I can get semi-decent quality downloads of sports channels that I dont have a premium package through my cable subscriber for, it might still be worth it... assuming its all legit!

    Thanks!
