Satellite?

im_2_b · 2007-04-24, 22:53

I have Satellite, do I need to get a DVB-S card? I am having so much trouble trying to decide on what T.V. Card to get.

Help Me..............

I'm interested in DVB-S in the US as well but can't find any of the cards people have recommended for sale in the US and overseas shipping is $$$.

Yeah, but can't I just get a regular T.V. Card, or does it HAVE TO be a Satellite Card?

If you are willing to sacrifice quality, then STB -> analogue TV-card (pref. HW-based) is an option. You do "need" MCE-remote w/blasters (or eq.) to change channel (and of course a STB).

If you know you can get it to work, you should, however, consider getting a DVB-S card.
