[mythtv-users] [UK Question] Fed up with Sky!

[UxBoD]

Okay, have done some reading on this and from what I understand I would require the following :-

2 x DVB-S cards with common interface
Coax Splitter
2 x CAM ie. Dragon or similar
2 x FreeSat cards

then I should be able to record and view at the same time.  Does this make sense ?

Regards,

Hi Oliver,

Many thanks for that.  I presume all I would need then is a DVB-S card and plug the Sky dish cable into that ?
