Re: FloppyDTV S2 TV

I have only just started looking at this and as I do not have a clue about what is available and what I can get, thought this is a starting point....

Re: FloppyDTV S2 TV

Are you wanting just free channels?

Will the dish be fixed/monoblock or motorised?

Re: FloppyDTV S2 TV

At the moment I have Sky satellite dish and use it with an HD box, but want to build a Mediacentre PC.
Would also like something that I can stick my Sky card into - if possible?
I assume that a motorised dish would be the better choice.

There is a huge thread over at AV forums on getting it to work with Sky - HOWTO: Sky through DVB-S card within MCE - AVForums.com

Re: FloppyDTV S2 TV

Thanks John, I will keep that in mind. It will definitely be built with W7 in mind.

Re: FloppyDTV S2 TV

If you can receive freeview, it might be worth playing around with a £15 DVB-T tuner first.
