You can hook it to your cable box and internet, and the box will transmit the show over the internet so you can stream it on your laptop. Of course, this won't help you get anything you don't already have at home. If you had a friend in America that had the box, you might be able to access it and watch American cable.For what I understood, you can watch what's on your tv...... so for us overseas it would not help....... or haven't I understood anything? Last option is probable, since I am really looking forward 2 o'clock for kick off.![]()
