I have read different threads about 4.2.2 sat feeds received on a pc, but there is one thing I havenīt found an answer for yet:

Will I need anything else than the laptop, ProgDVB software and my Vantage HD 8000s to receive FTA signals? What about the mentioned 4.2.2 feeds?

This STB has a USB port that allows an PC to read its hard drive. That does not seem to me the same as a USB Satellite PCI device. Do you know of anyone that is using this configured with a PC and ProgDVB?

ProgDVB has great support for 4.2.2 and other HD formats. But contact Prog to see if he supports the Vantage HD 8000s .

I am not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.
