I don't know what Sky is, because I'm not from the UK, so this'll be a shot
in the dark, basically.
I assume Sky provides digital TV. I assume digital TV is provides via a DVB
signal. Also, most digital TV systems use a smartcard. Now I can safely
advice you to buy an appropriate DVB card. Transfer the encryption key from
the smartcard to the decoder of your DVB card (or get a smartcard reader in
your PC).
In THEORY, this should all work nicely in MCE, without having to use yet
another box ;)
