Is there a way to watch satellite channels on PC for free?

Is there a way to watch satellite channels on PC for free? I am talking about some specific free-to-air channels.

I have technical details like satellite, band, transpoder Number, Downlink frequency etc. of the channel.

Is there a way I could translate all of this to watch this channel on PC, using some software or webapp?

in order to receive satellite signals and watch free-to-air channels, you need

  • A satellite dish (...)
  • A satellite capable TV card for your PC (something like this)

The TV cards mostly come with software to browse free channels and also record video.

yes, but I thought there might be a webapp that has a dish and once I tell it the channel info, it simply streams the channel using its own dish. What I am saying is not technically impossible. – TPR – 2011-08-16T09:00:31.217

Maybe so, but I'm not sure if this is legally possible. If you're looking for a web app, this is not the place to ask anyway. – slhck – 2011-08-16T09:07:16.433

You could ask about a specific web app on [Webapps.SE], but I can't promise anything. – slhck – 2011-08-16T10:15:45.727

well, I did and they closed the question indicating it's off-topic?! – TPR – 2011-08-16T23:58:32.983
