257595 2004-08-02 09:33:00 Hallo I have heard that it is possible to pick up SKY TV with a TV/ Video capture card with added software. I have read that software has been made for the ones using 878 chipsets is any available for CX2388x Chipsets and if so where can one be obtained. Thanks kit2hugh (5936)

257597 2004-08-02 09:46:00 Yes it can be tuned to sky. Although dont expect any real answers as it is not permitted on these forums.... hsv-b0y (5210)
257598 2004-08-03 20:19:00 Thank you for your help. It looks if it is not legal so I will leave it alone.
Thanks for your reply

257599 2004-08-03 21:05:00 It is legal if you ring up Sky and get them to come and install a decoder for you and then you pay the monthly fee for it! :D
If you then plug the decoder into your TV card it will pick it up.

257600 2004-08-04 02:31:00 It is possible with software, but the software is not easy to find. Its also illegal so that makes it not worthwhile.

Most of the software to decode pay per view and pay tv is designed for American Channels, so they would not work here.

I know because I was once naughty LOL.

Whoops.

257601 2004-08-04 03:16:00 The software is a piece of piss to find and works well from what Ive heard.

Its not legal though..... So I suggest we drop this thread and let it die!


Chill.

257602 2004-08-04 03:32:00 It only works well if the signel is 100 percent,otherwise the pc struggles to keep a viewable picture,and even when working the colours and sound can be all washed out,or inverted is some cases.

Imo if its worth having then its worth paying for,that is the only way to get optimal quality.
