Satellite in the Netherlands? (1 Viewer)

[Zinu]

Hello,

Since my cable provider (UPC) doesn't provide much channels on encrypted or FTA, I'm looking for a satellite replacement. I actually find it really interesting looking. However, I am a total newbie in DVB-S. But I was wondering about a few things.

- What is DVB-S2? And do I really need it?
- How is the quality of DVB-S(2) in opposite to DVB-C? Better, about the same, or actually worse?
- Am I bound to Canal Digitaal in the Netherlands in the area of satellite reception?
- Does satellite also work with CAM modules, so I can watch encrypted channels?
- Is there a possibility to receive HDTV channels with Canal Digitaal? If so, what do I need and what does this cost me extra?
- If I only want to receive the signal on my TV (has a video input for TV channels, ofcourse) and on a DVB-S card, I don't need a seperate receiver, right?
- What exactly do I need to set up a satellite set? I thought I only need a satellite dish and cables. Although, I actually don't really know anything about this So I hope somebody can tell me that too.

Please help a newbie in distress

Thanks inadvance,
Zinu.
