Bye Bye HDPVR ;-(

Ok, long time no update.

My media center has been going thru soem major changes to date. DVBlink + HDPVR is a sweet setup for piping sky HD into W7MC, but only having 1 tuner as always a touchy subject.
I originally convinced myself the the sacrifice was worth it, but no longer!

So, I have now go ne down the route of DVBLink TV Source & 2* DVBS cards & Dreambox to decode encryption.

This method will use my sky subscription, and give me my Dual tuners (up to 6 possible...) which enables tre multiroom functionality with ONE SKY SUBSCRIPTION

I have this fully up & running now using my SKy SD subscription card, waiting to purchase the 2nd DVBS HD card, and the setup will be upgraded to se my SKy HD sub card, once this is operational, I'll cancel my 2nd sky subscription as it will nto be needed.

The full setup on how to do this was covered in last 2 posts, most difficult part was getting the boxkey right.

So at the moment,I have the 1 sky card feeding 4 rooms (dual tuner for now) via HTPC & x360 media extenders.
