[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1028538, member: 356020"] Thanks for your further help with this. Even if I am only able to get Arte, from the addition of another dish/LNB, it would be worth it - have been reading up on it and it looks like an amazing channel. I am surprised that I had never even heard of it. My hardware is a bit more obscure, compared to what you guys are using: I have a headless Linux-based server that contains all my hard drives - the server runs TVHeadend, a program that schedules and makes recordings. The server is connected to a Gigabit switch, to which various Raspberry Pi client's are connected. My satellite dish is connected to one of these: [URL="http://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/ce/en/product/944064/Sat-IP-server----Telestar----DIGIBIT-R1-SAT2IP-Umsetzer"]Sat-IP server Telestar DIGIBIT R1 SAT2IP Umsetzer from Conrad Electronic UK[/URL] Which connects to the switch, and convets the DVB-S2 signal to IP, which can then be utilised by TVHeadend. The downside of this is that I do not have a satellite receiver as such and thus nothing with a CI. I would have to buy a USB CI slot, plus a CAM and smart card and then use these with Oscam (as part of TVHeadend) to decrypt scrambled channels. It does seem possible but as a bit of a beginner, could be an expensive mistake if it does not work. [/QUOTE]
