I'm considering building an HTPC following the demise of my trusty Humax PVR. I've got a Sky dish installed for an old Sky+ installation and would like to use that to feed UK Freesat HD into an MP setup.
Has anyone got such a setup working and can recommend a Freesat HD compatible card? I'm guessing I'd have to have two cards in the machine to handle record one channel / watch another scenarios (unless there are any cards out there that have to coax inputs?).
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Ah, I've just re-read the TV Tuner compatibility list and can see that there's no support for DVD-S2 cards. So I guess that rules out Freesat HD for the moment!
So, to change goal slightly, can anyone recommend a standard UK Freeview (DVD-T I think) compatible card that would work with MP? In this case, I think the card can pull multiple signals from a single aerial connection so am I right in assuming I only need a single card?
