Hello skunks, I have the following: 1: The small DSTV decoder connected to a sony TV, a PC with a TV card running Debian, and a long Coax cable that can connect the TV card in the computer to <tv out?, DSTV out? > I am trying to: 1: Watch tv from my computer. 2: Watch top gear when they <no names> are watching soaps on local TV which seem to be running 2-4-7 3: Record some stuff onto my hard drive. Is there something i could do short of buy another TV and enable multi view on my DSTV? -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696

@Brainiac, if <no names>watch the local channels via the decoder then you need a second decoder. If you receive the locals stations signals via normal RF antenne, then you need to put up a splitter at the RF output of the decoder. If you are locked into AV on the decoder, you will need an RF modulator. HTHs. RF is pretty easy.

@aki, sadly all input is from DSTV. so im guesing ill have to do multi view... Im guessing i can do PVR type setup using the comp, yes? no? On Sun, Dec 4, 2011 at 4:55 PM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:

If you get a Dreambox, and use your DSTV smartcard on it, you can stream to any media other channels, for example, I watch Supersport on The TV, Movie Magic on the laptop, NatGeo on the iPad and any other channel on the phone simultaneously! ./Ok3ch On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 12:58 AM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

Am not sure, but easily available from Dubai or SA and if you know anyone who brings in electronics, they can help you out. Btw, they run some embedded Linux OS so you can tinker with it the way you want. ./Ok3ch On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 1:39 PM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
