Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I´ll definitely follow up on some of them.

Tony- for watching football games, you might want to listen live online to an American radio station to get the audio while watching the tv for the video. All course this would only workif:

1. your computer is located within earshot of your computer

2. the game is being broadcast live

I´ listen to a lot of radio at home on the Internet. I´m actually listening to Jim Rome´s sports talk show right now. It´s a good way to keep up on sports back in the US.
