That sounds pretty cool Chernobyl.
Do you think it'd work with typical SKY hardware, with the addition of a DVB card?

What d'you reckon is the best value for money DVB card around?
Could you add a dual LNB, and watch Sky digital (on TV) and receive content to your PC simultaneously?

All* the above is possible in theory but in practise may not perform all the time.

*as Sky is @ 28.2/.5° E and Astras service is @ 19.2° E, a Quad Lnb setup would not work, it would have to be 2 ofset LNb's.

I would give it time, to become more popular before investing.
