I am in norway and stambledI on this thread. I use my cell for writing so i try to make this short. I tried linuxMCE a few years ago but after a lot of frustration i gave it up(btw, mce uses myth/vdr anyway). I have a private sat dish and i use both mythtv and VDR. and sometimes XBMC on top. if you are planning to use DVB-S/S2 just get such card (i use hauppage nova hd dvb-s2 which was recomended on some forums and works well for me. You will need 2.6.28 for dvb-s2. I use the ubuntu 9.04). I heard of people that were able to watch sky on mythtv with a legal card and a card reader, dunno about yes (both sky and yes use NDS). Cheers, Erez
