When my friend got sky digital the guy said about a DVB card.
I know you can watch freeview channels on your PC with it and get high-speed internet access.
But how does it work?
I've looked on a few websites but they're really confusing.
I'd really like to know how they work because where I live isn't going to get broadband any time soon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

OK....
DVB has been developed to include encapsulation techniques which allow the MPEG-2 data packets to carry TCP/IP traffic at the same multi-Megabits/sec speed as digital television. This allows both digital TV and internet traffic to co-exist on the same system and be received by either DVB PC cards or DVB set-top-boxes.
DVB is under development to include a number of capabilities of interest to the interactive community: standard return path protocols via satellite and cable, open platforms, MHEG and compatibility with HTTP, IPV6 and other internet protocols. DVB today has the ability to carry TCP/IP - and hence any other standard using TCP/IP - at a very high speed.
From what ive read it's not any good at multiplayer gaming as the ping is very high, better sorted for streaming content etc...
I am not aware of any DVB providers in the UK, I have looked around and nothing came up, ill keep looking.
