Watching TV....how to for dummies!

Hi, well just purchased my first laptop for uni, however never been much of a techie, and I'm quite clueless about how to work it!

Anyways, the reason I'm asking for help is because I want to be able to watch TV on it.....I've got the PCG-K215B and it says you can, but does anybody know how to do this? Do I need to purchase any additional items?

If somebody could help I'd be really happy! But please don't make the responses complicated, as I said, I'm not good with all the jargon!

Thank you!!

You normally get a form from the Post Office.
I think you can do it online too.

yup I got one from the post office last month when i was back home......121 pounds for a year. bit expensive, but worth it if you consider you could be fined up to a 1000!

checked my manual today, it does seem to imply you can, but guess i'm just too stupid to figure out what to do!

Nope - the USB solution is the one to go for.
