[QUOTE="Topper, post: 373730, member: 186250"] Well why not ask them how? [IMG]http://www.nasn.com/images/nasn/portal/Rebrand2007/howtoget/decoder_subtext_ie.gif[/IMG] Well yes on usb there are DVB-T tuners indeed I have one myself but that is for [I]terrestrial digital transmissions[/I]. Yes there are some cards for satellite transmissions but they are for desktops pc's [B]not[/B] laptops, that I am aware of. Also even if there was one available for laptop, you would still need to plug the lnb cable into the laptop which therefore makes a nonsence of using a laptop as the laptop then loses it's portability. I personally would not dream of using that method as even if you had an 8Mb/sec broadband link you are still at the mercy of what [B]they[/B] have at the other end and all the stages in between. For example just for me to connect to this website I am making 14 hops through different places. [/QUOTE]
