Thanks chap all on the money advice as always ideally I would get sky multiroom and plug it into the imac monitor - ther e*must* be a way of doing that - then I can get it past the commitee as being amonitor and another telly in the house

Guess it would depend on how many rooms you want TV in. Using that Slingbox I referenced earlier, your Mac would be just another TV although it would be being fed via your network rather than directly from the satellite/cable.

There really isn't any way currently that I'm aware of to plug the output of the satellite receiver directly into the iMac. The iMac is a computer and doesn't expect a TV type input. Maybe someday, they'll include an HDMI type input or something on computers but today, you need extra hardware.
