DVB is a digital stream and needs no reencoding. So your D900 should be
fine as a slave backend with the skystar card. I haven't done this myself
though. IANALBYA :)
I use a C500 perfectly well as a play-only frontend. Its a bit slow
loading screens, but playback is fine.
I also use a P3 700 on 11g wireless which is okay, but is rather slow
about framing backwards. Its quicker to go back 1/2 second and frame
forwards :)
