This is probably really easy, but thought I might as well make sure I've understood this right before I order the wrong stuff:
I don't own a TV, the world cup is almost on us. Rather than pay £700+ for a big TV I thought I could use my computer and buy whatever kit I need for this. Problem is what kit?
1) Presume all I need is a PCI TV receiver? Or is this not necessary given that they're going to broadcast over the web? Will I need some other kit to receive the web broadcasts?
2) Been wanting to sort out a remote for the PC so I can play DVDs and pause iplayer, do volume etc from the sofa. The computer is in the lounge but hidden from view so I'd need a remote which has a receiver separate from the unit. Is this achievable? Most of the components I can find assume you're using them in a media PC so have the receiver built into the front of the drive bay.
Any pointers gratefully received.
