Listening to ATC using a computer

Hello All,

This question goes out to anyone with a good know how about radios and computers. I want to listen to the ATC and aircraft transmissions at my local airport. However, buying a radio freq scanner or an airband transceiver is a bit out of my budget at the moment. I've listened to ATC transmissions at the major airports over the internet and really enjoyed it.

What I want to know is if it is possible to listen to ATC tranmissions using my computer with the aid of something like a TV card or a simple radio aerial. If this is possible could anyone tell me what hardware I need to get and what are some software programmes I could use. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Sholva.
