High, I'm very new to FTA (getting my first FTA receiver soon, Viewsat Platinum) and I've also been building up my HTPC w/ Media center.
Media Center is great and I'm able to use it for lots of things, however one thing I never got to do was record video from broadcasts and use the media center guide. Since my house did not have satallite or even cable, I never bothered buying PVR card. I figure once we get satellite or digital cable, then I will dive into that.
So my question is how or if the FTA receiver works together with an HTPC and what limitations are there. Will i be able to record programs? schedule when to record? Access the EPG via my PC? Control the FTA receiver with media center? things like that.
Does anyone here have an FTA receiver integerated in their HTPC home theater?
