Hi,

To get most dutch channels (exept one) and some others from satelite you 
need to get the "set top box" from Canal Digitaal 
(http://www.canaldigitaal.nl) its "only" 39,99 euro's (10 more than this 
year) for the whole year, that's 3,33 euro each month but you need to 
pay for a whole year. You can "look" at 3 satelites (astra1 + 2 + 
hotbird)  with just 1 dish and 3 lnb's so you can get a lot of free 
channels (got this setup myself).

Now i'm using a satelite receiver for this setup but (very soon)  i'm 
going to build my own  mythTV setup and I was wondering wich satelite 
card people recommend ?

Cya,

NINjak
