  1. So was checking out this option of getting a satellite capturing (DVB) card. It sounds like it can get birds like Charlie and Beverly which may have some FTA channels on it along with other FTA (free to air) channels in the Ku and C bands. The cards are as little as $90 and HDTV capable.

    Seems like cards Twinhan VisionPlus 1020A, and WinTv Nexus-s and Novus-s are mentioned. Applications to use are mytheatre and progdvb. Anyway just thought I'd check it out. Any opinions?

    Anything good on Ku channels in NA?

    Last I checked there was very little by way of FTA transmittions that you would even want to capture, about 98% of C-band is encrpypted and KU band is about 80%. The stuff that isn't encrypted, you don't want.

    OK, if you can work Fishnet FTA, can you get an access card reader and then buy the pay part of Fishnet? That would be nice! I've seen cards like that for sale for Europe, but nothing for the US.
    Hope is the trap the world sets for you every night when you go to sleep and the only reason you have to get up in the morning is the hope that this day, things will get better... But they never do, do they?

  8. The cam modules don't work in NA on DTV\Dish\Bev, you can use a softcam to access "Fishnet", basically it emulates the access card, there is not one for DTV

  10. of course, I think it should be legit if you are already paying for a subscription it could be considered another reciever and pay an additional $5 a month
