Computer as a receiver (decoder)?
Can anyone give me some advice on decoder stuff? I'm new to Sat TV and I would like to know can a computer act as a digital satellite receiver or not. I found some of the digital satellite receiver contain comp CPU chip. So can anyone tell me is it possible to use a computer to receiver FTA channels from AsiaSat 3S?

you need to add deticated hardware basically pci sat vision card, atm around $200,cheers, edit hardware and software are inseparatable as they need each other to work so yes is possible to just use software on the pc to listen/view tv /sat though no programs yet available as far as i know are available, maybe you could write one? are you a programmer? i cant even spell itt
