[QUOTE="PureLoneWolf, post: 823082, member: 24868"] Hi all I am looking to build a HTPC setup and, typically, I am not certain about cards. I live in Germany and will be fitting a dual or quad LNB to the dish when I get it. Initially I would be looking at FreesatHD with the possibility of moving to Sky HD if I can find a method of subscribing over here that doesn't have an extortionate middle-man annual fee. Looking on here, I have seen a few recommending the TBS 6981 dual satellite card. Would this be a good choice to connect to FreesatHD and be able to record one channel/watch another? If I were to then sort out Sky HD...would this card still be enough, or would I need another card to control the box? I don't need to control any motors as the dish will only be pointing to English satellites. I was also thinking of an extra card to be able to potentially connect to the wall socket in my apartment...for German TV. Many thanks in advance for any advice [/QUOTE]
