- My Satellite Setup
- SkyStar2 receiver, 88cm Triax dish, Moteck 2100A motor, Vista MCE x86 (1TB), Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T, lots of X10 etc
- My Location
- Hull, UK
I'm a noobie. I've got a Windows MCE PC in the lounge, mainly for films, photos, and music.
1. If I stick a SkyStar2 2.6d card (£43) in it, download the 'extra' bits of software, I have a receiver right?
2. If I then buy a motorised dish system (£95) as per the dvb-onlinestore on ebay, I have a full solution right? Seems too cheap.
I may also buy a satellite finder from the same ebay guy for £10 to make the job easier.
The SkyStar comes with the remote.
The motorised dish kit includes:
1 x 88cm Triax TD88 Anthracite Satellite Dish ( 85 x 95 cm )
1 x Moteck 2100A Motor With DiseqC 1.2 And GO TO X ( USALS)
1 x Maximum Universal Single LNB 0.3 db
1 x High Quality Steel Wall Mount
1 x Screw set with screws, washers and dowels
1 x 25 metre high quality coaxial cable with 2 F-Plugs
I'm looking to pick up footie games, some english language movies and hopefully, a hell of a lot of pron.
3. How do I know if the dish is big enough? I live in Hull, East Yorkshire.
4. Do I definately not need a cam? From what I've read, progDVB, s2emu and some 'keys' are all I need.
VERY greatful for any advice/suggestions regarding what I'm about to buy. Don't want to be mr betamax (again).
