My System: Motorised Starlight 6800 |
Hope this is the correct place to post this.... I have a motorised Manhattan Starlight 6800 system & am interested in adding the Skystar2 card to my PC as i am looking to record sat programmes direct to my PC. How can i do this? Would i be correct in thinking i could take the dish feed & plug it into some sort of a splitter/booster box & then run cables from that to the Starlight & Skystar? If i was to do this, would the signal quality suffer much? Any help/seggestions greatly appreciated. Thankyou | ||

Any idea what this would cost ? I'm not technically minded to do it myself (useless at DIY etc lol). Ive seen LNBs with twin output from around £50-£150 depending upon sensitvity. I'm guessing the install/labour charge will be the most expensive part. | |||

If there are any bolts, give them a good dose of wd40 / gt85 a couple of days beforehand. | ||
