[QUOTE="ozumo, post: 1103151, member: 415308"] For a receiver I would have a look at which receivers are included with Fransat/RMC packages and then search for reviews. If a receiver has SCART or RCA composite connectors then a USB capture card will work, however ensure it accepts and outputs 50hz video. I have come across some which convert everything to 60hz which results in video judder. You'll also need to set your monitor to 50hz. If you wish to capture HDMI then you'll need a card that is HDCP compatible, or use a device that solves this problem, some HDMI splitters do this. Again some HDMI capture cards convert everything to 60hz so be aware, they can also heavily compress the video. All HDMI capture cards I've used fail to display 1080i correctly, scaling to 720p or 1080p first tends to work better. Also check if the card can be used with VLC, anything that is UVC compatible will work with VLC. Would it be possible to mount a small display above your monitor and use an HDMI splitter & switch so you could watch on either the little screen or full screen on your monitor? This would solve the many problems associated with HDMI capture. [/QUOTE]
