AIW Player will do this. http://fightersoft.openvision.ro/aiwplayer/

It will let you share a TV card on your network(wireless too) also change
channels, etc.(uses a chat client).
It is finicky to operate and a PITA to setup, but it is free and it does
work.

Thank you Mr. Kistler, I'll try it. I just bought more memory for my box and
a WinTV USB2 last night. I'll download it and also try BeyondTV...it appears
it
lets me test drive theirs before buying.

Thanks for the help.
