Thanks Topper, it's a DVB-T box hotel feed supplying all the rooms. Will I be able to use the Freecom USB stick even though the signal I'll be connecting to is already coming from a digibox? Also my laptop only has the old type of USB, not USB 2.0. Will that make any difference? Thanks.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can use my laptop to record TV. I'm living in a hotel room at the moment with a TV that shows channels from a freeview digibox. I can't connect the laptop directly to the digibox. Is it possible to somehow connect the coaxial cable to the laptop or maybe...

Excellent, I put it on sky news and Channels 4+5 are working after only 4 hours. Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I bought my skybox complete with viewing card from a someone in the UK last year and used it in the Czech Republic until May 2006 with no problems, Ive been away for a nearly 5 months, so I unplugged the sky box and put it away. I have now reconntected it but it won't allow me to see channel 4...

I'm having a small problem with my motor. When I change channels from one satellite to another the motor only moves if I pick a channel on a transponder with horizontal polarization first.

Cheers, no I did'nt know it was gonna be scrambled, thats saved me some trouble. Also could you tell me if its possible to recieve channels on 19.2E which have no sr or fec rates, with a dvb reciever.

I've just installed a motor and can pick up channels on all satellites from 28.5E to 30.0W no problem. On 16.0E I can't get BBC Prime on 11554V, I get a 66% signal strenght but 0% quality, although on the same satellite I get 11449H at 77% strength 73% quality and 12563V at 62% strength 53%...
