So, what hardware is needed here, besides a C-band LNB?


A knock-off dreambox or a PCI dvb-s2 card is your best bet. Any cheapo DVB-S2 receiver will work, provided that you can get the raw MPEG-TS stream out of it and into a computer that can run oscam.


Enough space for a C-Band dish. They can get rather bulky.
