Do you have a FTA dish hooked up to either a FTA pc card or a stand-alone FTA receiver?

Apparently my shot at the BirdView fell thru.
If anyone knows of one near the Memphis area (within 200 miles or so) let me know, eh?

Someone just posted about this software for Windows in the PC DVB discussion:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/free-air...pvr-2-0-a.html

SichboPVR - Free DVB-S/C/T and ATSC dvr software for Windows

My stuff is all Linux based - maybe others will chime in.

See their 'known working devices' section on the website.
