Black Gold & Sky

prsettle · 2006-10-16, 15:56

I currently have a black gold freeview card installed which is working very well as is the EPG.

I was however wondering if I could utilize the extra input on the card svhs to plug in the feed from my sky box.

Would this either work or be extremely difficult.

Am running the latest version with the project mayhem skin.

Superb system

If the tuner is not a hybrid and actually has two tuners then yes.

First off I must stress that I have not done this myself, so correct me if I am wrong....

Load MP configuration, then navigate to 'Television > TV Channels'.

When there, click the 'Add' button. In the dialogue that pops up you can enter a name (like 'Sky') and then in the Channel pul down right at the very bottom you might find 'SVHS' (I do on my DViCO). Have a play about with that.

You might also want to look at the MyBlaster plugin.
