Anyway to get free channels using PC?

[PhilipO]

I got myself a Hauupauge Nova-T card for my PC. Is there anyway to access the channels that are locked out? Any hidden channels or anything?

if you mean Top Up TV, it is encrypted in S*ca2 which hasn't been cracked, so you can't get their channels without a subscription card. There are some "hidden" channels (redhot, xtraview) which you can get free with a PC receiver, see http://www.satellites.co.uk/php-bin/forum/showthread.php?t=36662

Xtraview ceased weeks ago!

There are some hidden channels, but nobody's found them yet

Sorry m8, only kidding

RedHot can still be opened if you can work out how to edit the PIDS etc in your channel config file. Search the forum for more info in addition to the link above.

yeah, the only channel you can open is red hot but why watch that censored softcore crap

If you have a broadband there is software being toted around that claims to let you watch Sky Tv broadcasts on your pc by tapping into internet feeds, and its legal.I cant comment on effectivness or quality as I only have dial-up! I would be interested to hear from anybody that has tried it.

It is crap, there are no live Sky feeds on the internet, they are all by terrestrial cable, point to point microwave or satellite. There are channels available on the net, but most are very low data rates and can only be watched in a small window and are mostly over subscribed. The information packs which can be bought are a con, all of the information is freely available on the net.
