te system. If this system incorporates a switch box, this switch box needs to
be DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) compatible. The physical
connection on the WinTV-NEXUS card is a single F-Connector.
Furthermore you need a connection to a satellite reception antenna or to a
satellite reception system which can receive digital satellite signals (DVB
satellite).
