Re: [LUG] OTT PCI DVB-T freeview card

[Steven CÃtà <steven.cote@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can get a Freesat tuner for about Â45 on Amazon these days. You would be hard pressed to find just the tuner card for that kind of money.

So for Â45 plus your existing dish and an HDMI ready TV, you get 150+ channels. No Linux box required. If you're trying to do this on a budget, that's the best bet. Building your own DVR is only a good idea if your trying to build something top end or it's a hobby project.

I have exactly this:

A bunch of old crappy properties with ancient, deactivated Sky dishes
Some random computers
A minuscule budget (my own pocket basically)
Some old people who'd like their TV not to be as ancient as they are

Please god let there be some Â50 FreeSat box with decent outputs, the
like of which IÂ can feed into whatever random $LINUX box I choose.

Anyone? 'Cos I'm drawing blanks on this.
