    Satellite PC Card

    I have read that these PC cards can record films onto a dvd and on some models you can watch two channels on a split screen but I have a few questions about them:

    1.Is there any point in buying a satellite PC card?
    2.What do they do that a Technomate cannot?
    3.Can they decrypt encrypted channels?

    Thanks and sorry for all the questions

    1/. No...I had one and got rid because you need your pc running to watch tv
    2/. My TM600 can do more than the PC card, because it runs on Linux it will run CCCam directly without having to use clark connect etc on your pc
    3/. Yes they can be used to watch encrypted channels, some will allow you to use a Diablo Cam directly inserted into the PC card

        Well if the same is a PC card, and it uses a pci slot...Then the short answer is No....But i think you can get a Technisat USB satellite receiver....Obviously this plugs into the lappy with a USB. I suppose its ideal if you want to use it on holiday in a caravan etc...but i still prefer a set top box.

          Okay thanks its a scam for your answers I have decided that I will get a dreambox 500s instead of a satellite pc card because if I had to buy a pc sat card and a diablo programmer it would come to around ?100/?120 which is too much money to waste on a device that cannot do much more than a dreambox 500s at around ?50/?60.
          I will know have to do a bit of reading up on dreamboxes though.
