Does this Sat box exist?

    Is there a Sat box out there that can do this?

    I would like to have a Sat unit that would take my SKY card and allow me to choose which channels I wanted and where I wanted.

    I would be great If the unit also had FTA Terrestrial Digital reception also.

    Is there anything out there that would come close?

    Thanks.

    Well theres a slingbox!

    It streams the channels over the net for you!

    Google it..


    But i'm not quite sure what you want..

    Can you explain a bit more?

    You want to use your card in another house without moving the sky box?

    Yes, but none of them is official and all require a bit of tinkering. None is guaranteed to keep working.

    Increasing in price:

    A number of the combo sat/DTT combo boxes can be reprogrammed with a hacked firmware to read Sky cards. No 7 day epg e.g. Edision Argus. Not sure if it will update the card and keep it alive or not?

    QBox Mini has integrated cardreader and can read Sky cards with a software plugin and keeps card alive. You can configure them with 1x sat and 1x DTT tuner and have 7 day epg. Boards thread:

    Vuo Duo is similar to above but higher spec 2x sat tuner, internal card reader, DTT using USB device and internal HDD.
