[QUOTE="Rod Hulls Aerial, post: 62784, member: 177233"] So many questions ! Easy answer, get yourself a SkyStar 2 PCI card, as big a dish as you can, 1 Mtr should be plenty but check the satellites in question footprints (Lyngsat website has these I think ?) for Italy. Ensure you PC is a higher end system for the smooth running of the various DVB softs out there (1.5 gig or above processor and plenty of RAM i.e. 512MB to make sure) you can run lesser systems but check the minimum spec for the SS2 card, more is best. As for sound and vision quality thats probably down to your PC setup, you can record the content to DVD and play it later on your surround sound TV like I do, works a treat. The inherant problem with DVB card de-cryption is the hit and miss problem with channel provider encryption, after all, watching PayTV for free is illegal so the providers are doing all they can to stamp it out. Currenty there are only a handful of PayTV channels to be had for free, more or even less to come soon I'm sure, it's a very uncertain future for this hobby !!! Hope I've been of some help ? [/QUOTE]
