[mythtvnz] USB DVB-S

[Tortise]

Nick
There is also the Kaon 12V STB option, not really elegant and you'd have to treat it like a sky STB with composite video which might 
create different problems, but maybe there is a way to take a USB composite feed that's easier than a USB DVB-S feed?
I guess you know about DiSEqC1.0/1.2 protocol and satellite dishes?

I don't think he moves about a lot, its just that space is limited.

I do know you can get quite sophisticated sat dishes for caravans that
pop up and point themselves at the satellite automagically.

He was thinking of something like a eee box, which I believe has no pci slot.

Not sure about drivers for the one on trademe. Not even a brand name
mentioned IIRC.
