I've got a satellite dish on the rear on my house (lived here 6 years, only just noticed it:D) with a cable running into the house.

Is there anything i can place in a pci slot that would allow me to connect the wire and receive Freesat through my pc?


Cheers in advance.
 
that seems to be a DVB-T card, so no.

You need a DVB-S card. Might as well get a DVB-S2 card (although there's no DVB-S2 transmissions currently AFAIK)

Get something like the technotrend or similar.
 
Going to have a proper look at the satellite and cable tomorrow in the light, and see if they are the right kind etc.

Is it worth having?
Would love HD channels if possible.
 
Not too big a deal about hd channels, the main reason for me wanting free sat is the fact i'm in a poor signal area and my roof aerial is pants.

So hopefully this will mean i can finally get all the free view channels, as i don't watch enough tv to warrant virgin media/sky etc.
 
Not including HD channels I get about 200 channels and 600 radio stations. But I do scan just about every satellite known to man. So that includes channels from all over Europe. Granted lot of the channels are crap e.g TV shopping or sex chat.

It is just a standard screw connection. (Don't know the name of them but normally has them connected).
