ProgDVB use with SKY in the UK ?
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2008 2:00 pm
Hi All,
Please excuse my ignorance of this - I've stumbelled on ProgDVB alot in my research on the net and am here as a newbie on this forum.
I live in the UK and am a SKY subscriber -- am I right in thinking I can use ProgDVB and a card in a PC to watch SKY direclty there and in effect replace the sky box ?
Or would I need to take a feed from the SKY box into a PC and then be able to do this from here ?
** Please note, I'm not trying to hack anything here and I'm quite happy to continue paying for SKY and it's usage --- I'm just trying to view this in a different way **
If I can do this can I then control all functions from the PC to watch SKY and the channels etc....?
Really I'd like to set-up a media centre, dedicated PC linked to my TV for music, video and also Sat TV....
Am I on the right lines here.
Thanks,
Asbac
