[QUOTE="Zinu, post: 270616, member: 68759"] 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-S[B]2[/B]? 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.
