Hey all. My dad is going to be switching out service to Satellite soon, and it seems like I can't stop him. It sucks because I just built my HTPC and now it will be useless. What I wanted to do is get a satellite (DVB-S?) card for my HTPC. I know that MCE 2005 doesn't support those, but does anyone know if the Vista MCE will? I am curious to see if it is a possiblity in the future.

Try hooking up the output (coax, s-video, component) to your TV-tuner and using the remote?

Well firstly, it won't get the TV guide from Bell Expressview. It only offers cable, at least for my area. Second, if I use the Sat reciever seperately, it won't change the channels to record a show on a specific channel.
