This week on Satellite Nation Brian and I will be discussing using a computer for FTA/OTA instead of a Stand Alone STB. This might be opening up your computer and inserting a tuner card. Another way is to by a USB receiver, that plugs into a USB port on your computer.
Why would anyone want to do this? Are there advantages to using a computer? Is it easy or do you have to be a computer programmer to know how to make it all work? Windows, Linux, Mac, ARM based?

Have you asked yourself some of these same questions?
SatelliteGuys member updatelee will be joining us to discuss how all this works and answer your questions.
Chris besides a computer programmer has been doing this for a long time and can help answer some of these questions.


So tune in this Wednesday, January 14th at 8PM EST. Right here on SatelliteGuys Radio.

Have you been doing this yourself in the past? Do you have any tips or tricks? Please call in and give us your insight!
