Hi guys. I have an old Sky orginal box here. Haven't switched it on yet because I wanted to look inside while the capicators are decharged. Basically I was wondering what on earth i could do with this box.
Phaw it smells, lets give it a dust over. Thats better. Right on the back there are the following ports, two audio phono ports (red, white), some kind of ch switch, then a switch with setup (above) and norm (below), RF out, RF in, LNF in, video scart, TV scart and to my astonshimant there is a decoder interface connection. Looks very similar to a serial connection to me.
Basically I was wondering if A, I could use this box for Satellite Internet (perhaps a serial to USB 2.0 converter cable), are there any couf* cards you can buy, I'm just wondering here. Any any other uses would be interesting.
Perhaps I could connect it up to my PC and do something with it.
State your ideas here please. Lets go and switch it on.
