Could you please explain once more what is needed to use such a card in my AOne?

1. I?m not having cable, neither do i have antenna
2. I?m on satellite dish only

You said in eMail that i?d need some sort of settop box to do the conversion and feed the signal from there into the card!?

Which kind of settop box, a satellite receiver?

Thank you and sorry for asking once again
/me not on my AOne and thus no access to the old eMails

I'm not an expert on TV cards, but AIUI they will always have at least two inputs - one for an aerial, and the other composite or S-Video plus audio.

So basically you need to run a cable from the satellite decoder to the TV card. At the very least there will be a Scart connector on the back of the box, so you'll need a Scart to composite adapter/cable or similar.

Of course the easiest thing to do is buy a cheap indoor aerial and bung that on the back

Hmm, forgive my questions, but as i am not an expert either, i?d like to pinpoint some facts and ... learn

I was hoping to get myself this one: (WinTV HVR3000)

Resized Image

It has an antenna and satellite dish in (dunno the right names for those, sorry, but @Spirantho told me that the chip in the card does the work on deciphering the image data - which he cannot implement, because he hasn?t got a dish - so i?d need to get a settop box to do this instead BEFORE feeding the signal to the card.

Did i get something wrong here?

Thanks a lot

There's a lot of different cards....

but I'd suggest if anyone does get one for their Miggy that they get one as close to mine as possible! There's so many variations out there!

Mine is of course a WinTV HVR-1300 (Cx2388x/CX22702 combo), but I also have a Cx23881 in front of me and of course an NTSC WinTV Go! (Bt878) and an original PAL Win/TV (Bt848). Anything like them are the best, preferably the Cx2388x unless you like looking at a locked-up Amiga. :)

Err, not to sound pesky, but could you (if time allows) comment on #26, please?

I got myself a PCI slot freed and am seriously looking to get a TV card...

Thanks a lot

If you wanted a reply from me it wasn't a good idea to start the post with "@Chris" in post 26. :)

In fact, yes, you need a satellite set-top box with SCART or composite out and you should be just fine. But I can't do satellite decoding myself for the reasons you mentioned. In Britain I imagine a standard Sky box or derivative would work perfectly.
