G+_Keith Freeman Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I would love to replace my htpc source from cable to cable to directv. Is there an interface available for this or will my system continue to function as is? Think i already know the answer but hoping there is someone out there smarter than me. Htpcs are running myth tv and wmc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm not sure I completely understand the question... Are you wanting to switch from cable to directv and tune the directv channels on your HTPC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Gotcha. I don't think it's possible with any dish service directly - at least not affordable. Maybe a big DIY project? What I I've heard of some doing is using a video capture card combined with an IR blaster to change the channel on the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Keith Freeman Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just what I thought. My wife wants satellite because our cable company dropped some channels. Well I guess it's about to be the end to my htpc part of my server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Have you considered getting neither and going all streaming? If you want the more out of the box cable/satellite experience, Sling TV is run by Dish or Directv... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
