You can use Realplayer for most streams, but you have to type each URL in to make it work, there is no ready app like you have on the phone. Keep in mind that the work was not in providing the app but in building up the playlist as well as getting the logo collection together. You could probably do something similar in Windows with a little programming knowledge in Visual Basic.
Believe it or not, I live in a 1 light town (a flashing light) that in order to get anything besides over the air tv you have to have satellite, same thing for internet, if you don't want dialup you have to get satellite, which we had until last week, problem with hughs net, you get 200meg/day from 7a-2a if you go over the 200meg you drop down to dialup speeds for 24 hours

now I have an alltel data card, speeds jump up and down, we have 1 cell tower in a 15 mile radius and it's verizon, even my cell phone loses it's signal inside the house. but for the most part on the alltel card we get dsl speeds, which I have plugged into an xp machine briged to a wireless router, total of 1 desktop and 2 laptops run off it

maybe I'll just watch off my diamond and use the ear plugs so it doesn't bother my brother while he channel surfs (I mainly listen to tv anyways while I surf the net)

I was just hoping to be able to have some kind of a program on the desktop and plug the url's in for the streams
