[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11189"] First off, I love Media Portal. Great job to everyone who has worked so hard on it. Here's my question/problem. I am pretty much a newbie to the whole concept of DVB cards. I have sattelite TV and would like to use the TV functions of Media Portal with my sattelite service. From what I understand, I would need a DVB card to do this. When I go to my local electronics store, everyone acts like they have never heard of such a thing and tell me that they have no card that can tune a sattelite TV signal. When I search on the internet, I find lots of people selling DVB cards, but most seem to be outside of the USA, making me think that they are either illegal here, or simply won't work with the services provided in this country. So basically, can anyone fill me on the basics? Am I totally on the wrong track here? Will any DVB card work with any sattelite service? Do they work with the sattelite services provided in the USA? By the way, let me assure you that I don't want to do anything illegal. I am perfectly willing to pay the sattelite company for their service, I just want to involve my computer in the process :) [/QUOTE]
