Re: MCE and Satellite Receiver

Kim,

No you wouldn't, if would work just like a cable box, MCE would change the
channel on the Sat box for you when it is time to make a recording. No need
to do it manually.

Thanks Richard.

Of course you are right in that I can connect the satellite receiver to
MCE,
but the solution is not really usefull because I would have to come home
and
change satellite channel for every timed recording i wanted to make apart
from the first.

Regards,
Kim

computer.

Thanks B-real.
What a pity though. I bet they could sell thousands in Denmark alone.

Cheers,

I don't think you can use MCE with a satellite reciever. Only cable

over-the -air signals.

I have only been able to find systems with one or two regular
tuners which
does not help me because my sole tv-source is a satellite receiver.
