I am a Mac user, but now have the possibility to get a laptop from 2006 with Windows XP cheap from a mate at work. I will only use this for satellite receiving purposes. 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? | ||

My System: 1 Meter Primestar Elliptical C/KU. Twinhan 1025 PCI(Linux), Coolsat 6000, Winegard 76 cm dish. 8' Unimesh, HCC9300 Receiver. Diamond 9000 HD, 1m prime focus, 1.2 m prime focus, both on C Band.  Though defeated by the evil Fresnel this warrier will return victorious! |
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 . | |||

My System: Gibertini 1.5m, Jaeger 1224, Vantage x221 TS CI... Fibo 90, Mot-Sat3, Manhattan Plaza XT-M... Satcatcher Excel-TV, Lacuna Mk4 | That USB port is for updating the box firmware, channel lists and keys. It's not for video streaming (that's my understanding anyway). If you want to view 4:2:2 you need either a Linux box to stream to pc, a DVB-S pci or usb receiver, or a dedicated receiver like the Quali or Azbox. | ||
