[tonski]

just bought a mac book pro & i'm not sure if dvbdream will work or not any advice appreciated

I have not tried it but there is a mac version.

Thanks i didn't know about that, i was thinking i'd need to install windows. If it works would vplug work? i've not seen any info on macs regarding satellite.

I am sorry for getting your hopes up but after investigating a bit more it seems like DVB Dream is only available for the PC.

I found several links for the software that said for PC and Mac but when trying to download the software the links were popups and probably virus ridden files.

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of viewing software for the Mac..sorry again I should have checked further.

Is your hardware fire-wire or usb?

You can always install Win in Bootcamp,works great that way.

Hi
All software for normal things like editing the box, FTP etc and channels lists etc is there for the mac and very good. As Thor says install Parallels 5 or 6 it is now - easily searchable - and you can then run both Mac and Windows on the Macbook, but remember to add a virus software to the PC side - its still windows!! lol - Cheers - Brain
