I apologise in advance for my lack of knowledge regarding satellite DVB and Sky's implementation. I am reading and googling all the time, but I will admit to a degree of confusion.
Simply put, if I add a DVB-S card to my VDR setup, connect my SCA card to this, and have a dish installed on my roof, can I then connect the dish directly to VDR and use the sky card to decode the signal? I am only interested in the FTV and FTA channels, not in illegally decoding the Sky premium channels. (I may upgrade the card to premium channels in future. ) Will this work, or do I need to take the output from a Sky digibox?
Secondly, and assuming the above will work, can I also have a second LNB to watch channels on hotbird and use Diseqc to switch between them?
Thanks - adrian
