[QUOTE="hoppy, post: 49883, member: 18898"] Hi Teaboy, Beter late than never I hope! I've got it working, using a fireDTV DVB-S and a dragon cam. I can recieve all the channels I've tried to recieve so far, which is pretty much the whole of the basic package. I don't have movies or sports, so I can't comment on those, but if the dragon cam seems to work, I don't see any reason why it won't be able to decode them. The only real problem I have found so far is that you have to put you sky card back in your sky box about once every two months. I think it somehow "pings" the sky card to continue working. Without a two monthly ping, the card simply stops working, but can be fixed by leaving it in your sky box for a little while. This will probably be a big draw back for you as, by the sound of it, you won't have a sky box! If you get your dragon cam from here: [url]http://www.firedtv.co.uk/[/url] they will pre-load the loader card with the preditor firmware so you don't need a card reader/loader. Technically, this set up should be HD compatible, but I don't know if it works as I don't have a SkyHD subscription. The beeb are starting trials next month on Astra, so I'll test that out an let you know. [/QUOTE]
