My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me. | Perhaps it's my cold, buut I din't understand the question! The Comag is a Satellite Receiver. DVB T is not Satellite, but Digital Terrestrial - so the Card cannot relate in any way to Satellite. Can you elucidate? (Nicely ................  ) | ||

Nor me. | Ah, well I don't have the 12V, just the Mains Variant (SL65). I do know they are not exactly the same as regards features, but you certainly have no RF Modulator which doesn't help. The available Outputs are SCART, Optical, S-Video and some little Coaxial jobbie that I can't quite make out without toppling my stack of kit in the Shack! I suspect the answer is "No". I hope someone proves me wrong  | ||

My System: Comag portable 12 volt HP pavilion dv 9000 | Ok It looks like some one put me on a bum steer then, the reason I bought the Comag was because I could not get a decent signal using my DVB-T when I was out in my campervan, I was told to buy the Maplins Magmount aerial but that has not improved things, I am in the Merseyside area and it is a pretty good signal area, have you any suggestions to improve my reception? cheers Colin | ||

Nor me. | Ah, yes - missed that crucial point! Another solution would be to bin the DVB-T Card and the Comag and get yourself a DVB-S USB Tuner for the Lappie. About 50 notes. | ||

A DVB-S USB Receiver will simply connect to the same Satellite Dish you would need in any event for your Comag. Satellite (DVB-S) = Dish Terrestrial (DVB-T) = Aerial | |||

Nor me. | Just running through the alternatives: But it isn't the answer to Post #1 as you'd be replacing the Comag 12v Receiver with a USB Satellite Receiver. That's not the same as making use of the Comag Receiver! Quite the opposite. You might benefit from the opinions of others later this evening - a lot of our regular contributors work during the day | ||

My System: Sky HD, Sky Amstrad PVR3, Technomate TM9100, Targa TSR5200, Fortec Star 5100CI Diamond plus half a dozen more | Neither the SL65/12 or SL30/12 from Comag have an RF output, the only choice is composite video (CVBS). To display on your laptop you will need a device with a composite video input such as Videoh CD (or later versions from Adaptec - connects by USB) or a TV tuner which accepts CVBS or other video input device. You will still need to set up the dish (which comes in the system), connect receiver to it and align dish. I have used such a setup successfully although I now use a portable 12v DVD player with composite inputs as it uses a lot less power than the laptop. | ||

The Videoh CD was a similar device I picked up from a car boot sale and does the same job but was slower and USB 1. Moderator means if you post a link then prefix it with _ so as the link is not "live" and clickable | ||
