What can i do with my Sky Dig Box?

[the-warriners]

I am soon moving from Sky Digital to NTL digital as it a lot cheaper and we dont watch much other than the free channels anyway.

I currently have gbpvr running using a NOVA-T USB2 device and its fine although the siginal isnt wonderful and i get some breakup. I will now have a sky dish and box doing nothing apart from receiving free channels so i thought i should be able to hook it to the pvr box and have it as a second tuner.

The only downside is the pc box is small and takes half height pci cards so usb might be easier.

Could anyone suggest how i can get my sky dish and gbpvr talking to each other?
Thanks

You could get a DVB-S card and connect that directly to your Sky dish. You can get most Freeview channels but with a few odd omissions.

Then put your digi box in the attic.

Is this really true? - I've been trying to find out whether or not this would work as I've been thinking about getting a DVB-S card to do exactly that, but there don't appear to be any definitive answers out there. If you have any experience of this, e.g. what card to use, channels available etc. I would really appreciate your advice (or anyone elses for that matter).
Cheers.
