Hello GBPVR-ers,
I've been using GBPVR for the past several years (great program Sub!) with my Comcast Cable and PVR150. I now find myself moving to an area not serviced by cable. My option is DirectTV or DishNetwork. Even OTA is bad.
My question to the group is for those who have it setup for satellite, how are you making the connnection to the PC? I don't know anyone with satellite so sorry for the basic question. With basic cable, the line into my house goes directly to the back of my PC then to my TV (i.e. no cable box). The connection is via a coaxial cable directly to the PVR150 and from PVR150 to TV. Please describe how you connect via satellite in simple terms.
Based on all the new products they have out (HD DVR, HVR1600, HVR1950, HVR950Q). I figure I don't need the QAM feature since I'm doing satellite but is there one card that performs better? I did a search but not much comment on these cards with satellite).
Ultimately, my goal is to record it on my PC so that I can just keep adding harddrives as the space fills up so it seems that the HD DVR is not possible). Also, how is the listing updated. EPG is set to update automatically through my internet connection. I assume that would hold true with satellite?
I appreciate any advice for this novice.
Cheers Everyone!
