Hi everyone,
I'm newly arrived in NZ from across the ditch!! I've had quite a few years experience with digital TV back home in Oz (using MCE and Mediaportal) - but as you probably know it's all pretty much digital via antenna over there (DVB-T) so I'm still trying to get to grips with all the satellite/DVB-S stuff i'm going to need to do over here (I've move to Nelson where UHF digital isn't available).
So...
I'm planning on having a similar setup to that outlined by mcraenz here (it's a great guide btw).
My questions, mcraenz uses a TechnoTrend S1500 card as one of his DVB-S because it supports a CAM interface for inserting a Pay-TV decryption card - is that right? If so, would this TwinhanDTV Sat-CI (1034 Mantis) DVB-S card from Aussie manufacturers DNTV do the same job? The wite-up says it requires a C-Band or Ku-Band Satellite dish - are these the ones used in NZ?
Sorry for the newb questions, but it's all a little confusing for a first timer.
Cheers
Rich
