Is there some way to get some radio shows on satellite without owning a radio station? I want to get various shows I like that I can't get too well, and my internet connection is too slow. I have a c-band satellite system, and was thinking of getting a receiver that supports this. One I heard of can deal with digital signals, but not sure if it's TV only. It's the major reason I'm thinking of the digital receiver, as hdtv isn't important too much. Is there ways to use linux to switch channels, adjust frequencies and the like? I was thinking of using cron to schedule channel changes for recording and the like. Getting the order of satellites is often difficult as it changes occationally, and the frequency thing is near impossible as counting button presses for a huge frequency increase is impractical. What is it that I need a special IO card or game port connection for? I heard that from some windblows software help file to stop recording at the point where local commercials would normally take over, as I don't need the mystery stuff that is aired after this, probably just production countdowns, or silence, that wastes space.
