Anyone in USA with HomeRun and DVB-S2 card?

[RTKAT]

Well as the title stated I am looking for some one in the USA that has the HomeRun for ATSC "over the air" and a DVB-S2 pci card for FTA satellite in their desktop. Also both working with NextPVR.
I have a nice FTA dish farm at my house but for reliable recording I send video and audio to a receiver that has a Hard Drive. It would be nice to just use the same computer for both.

Interesting. I guess not.....

I only remember seeing a small handful of US based DVB-S users over the years. Definitely not a common type of user here.

Must be the case. Like myself, we are using our receivers for our FTA viewing and most are adding a hard drive to record. I just thought it would be convenient to use the great features of recording and playback from NextPVR.

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to add a DVB-S card for FTA satellite channels.

I agree. I may look more into this as time goes by.

I've been working with a MythTV user to try to create a FTA lineup for the US like I did for Astra 19.2E, but they've been having equipment issues. If you do get a DVB-S/2 card for FTA in the United States let me know and I should be able to create a lineup based off of the NextPVR scan.

I can't really say at this time if I will get involved with this card project or not. With the very short Summer here in Michigan ending, I will be busy with Fall "stuff" and getting ready for another Winter(<bad word).

Well, I did pick up a card and I must say it does work, sort of. The software that came with it is for Europe and/or Asia. There are satellites listed over the USA, but the software creators must have thought everyone uses universal LNB's. I don't. So not much luck with getting it to work.
But, NextPVR to the rescue. It would scan and pick up just what I wanted. So all is not lost. This saves some work by having Next record from satellite and comskip do its job at the same time.

As I mentioned before, if you can send me the channel scan via the NextPVR XML dump then I can see what I can do to link what you scanned with schedule data.
