TV card compatable with DSS Satelite?

[vette9898]

Does anyone know of a good video card that will work with DSS satelite?

No card will accept the input straight from the dish. Unfortunatley, there is no available software that will descramble the signal.
Even using DTV emulation (which is illegal) requires an actual DTV receiver and other peices of non-standard hardware.

You can, however run the video out from the DTV receiver into any card with video in, but you will have to change the channels via the receiver.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought but I was hoping I was wrong. Now I just need to find a good TV/Gaming card.

My dss looks great on my radeon 64 vivo. It looks better than a tv. And the vivo cards are about $150 on pricewatch now (I think.) Throw a dvd drive in and hook everything up and it is really nice. HTH BTW the dvd drive is just for furter watching and not necessary.
