[QUOTE="Rhys.Goodwin, post: 156751, member: 27017"] Sadly no. I wish. I might even consider getting sky if you could do that. But unfortunately there is no CAM that will support SKY in NZ I think they may have got this working with in the UK but they have a different system. The only(and still very popular) way to get sky (or any other [B]S[/B]et-[B]T[/B]op-[B]B[/B]ox output) into mediaportal is to use an analog MPEG encoder card and run the s-video and audio output from the sky decoder into it. Then use an infra-red blaster to change the channels on the sky box. I don't think so; I think you can only have 1 LNB per satellite on the same dish, since they have to be in the exact same place. And since sky and freeview is on horizontal and sky is on vertical it will cause a problem however I think around the end of July sky will switch to Horizontal. At this point you can use 1 LNB and splitter to split the signal into your DVB-S card and into your sky decoder. You won't need any DVB-S card for sky as mentioned above you'll need an analog card.
