Is there a way to connect sky box to a PC?

Depends what you want to do with it when it's connected.

My brother wants to be able to watch the channels in a small window on his pc. Possible?

He will need a sky box connected to your pc via a tv card.

Does it connect via scart to the tv card or aerial?

S-Video or Composite

Thanks. Do all sky boxes come with those connections? Could you also recommend me a tv card for the job

Cheers

Only Sky+ boxes come with S-Video.

Normal Sky boxes only output Composite video via the SCART socket.

You'll want an analog TV card (or a hybrid analog/digital), not a digital-only card.
