Question by M M: Does watching internet TV from a USB aerial eat into my monthly download allowance?
I have a little stick that plugs into the USB port and allows my laptop to recieve TV channels. Howvever, it apparently needs an internet connection to work, it won't do anything on its own (unless I am mistaken?).
So, when I watch internet TV, does that actually involve any downloading? I ask this because I am using an internet connection that has a monthly download limit, which sucks.

thanks.
