SAT/Cable on a HTPC(June 2nd episode)

[fin745]

Oo the June 2nd a viewer asked how he could get Sky sat TV on his HTPC. If nothing else works I suggest the Hauppauge colossus, it's a Video Capture card that Captures the component output of any device and also comes with a IR blaster for set top box channel control. I used this with my HTPC when trying to view cable TV because HTPC Cable card based devices were picking up interference from the line and the cable people couldn't(And still can't) figure out why. It works 99% of the time for me when changing to the right HD channel.
