Might well be moving to FreeSat soon, I have a Windows KODI box with Freeview dual tuners in. Is it a case of buying a sat PCI card and telling NextPVR to use that? Be interested to hear from anyone on FreeSat.

I've got freesat !!

Situation is a little different from yours in that my OS is Linux and my PVR backend is TVHeadend, but assuming that you can get Windows drivers for your freesat card(s) then I can see no reason why your existing setup woudln't work.

I have a dual tuner dvb-t card and a dual tuner dvb-s card. In my case, it was just a matter of installing the drivers for the dvb-s card and then telling TVH which satellite it was pointing at. I guess your scenario won't be too different.

Yeah, sure. There is lots of NextPVR users using Freesat.

Ok sounds good. Anyone suggest a good quality card? If I had dual tuners, does the dish need twin coax feeds?
