Nope, don't have Sky+ and refuse to pay for it; hence looking at a MythTV installation. Okay, so I would need to replace my Sky dish with a different one that has dual LNBs. I presume that also means running a second coax cable aswell ?

I can't comment on which DVB-S card is best, but I can say that you can't just split the LNB feed - you need a dual LNB. If you have Sky+ you should already have one of these. In fact it's slightly more complex than this - you could potentially record different channels from the same mux (there are up to 6 channels per mux I think), but there is currently no functionality in MythTv that allows for this. There is however some work in progess for MythTv that allows recording multiple channels from the same mux. > > Will this card work okay with the 2.6 drivers and does my approach sound > reasonable ? Hope this helps, Robert. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
