Not to sure myself Jack. It doesn't really have any English Channels (BBC World???) and i'm sure you would need a very fast internet connection along with a pretty powerful computer.
I've just got myself a Digital TV Receiver/Recorder from Cablecom for 15 francs per month including bbc1,2 prime and some english movie/sport channels. Mark has posted a how to guide for satelite installation aswell which looks pretty easy.
