Satellite radio transmission to the TV via Wi-Fi is an issue, What concerns me even more. Reasons for this are either a very old coaxial cabling with 75 Ohm sockets, which are useless for receiving satellite television.
Many have already an internet connection via DSL with a wireless router to the wireless LAN (WLAN), Wi-Fi Standard IEEE 802.11n.
A workable solution for the use of digital television data provides the company with the Elagato network tuner for DVB-S called "sat eyetv netstream" to. This small electronics on the satellite distribution, connected, for example, in the attic with a coaxial cable and F connectors. The electronics is an RJ-45 Ethernet- / LAN cable and a power line adapter, For example, FRITZ!Powerline, connected to high speed data transmission over power lines. Near the DSL router is the second Powerline adapter and placed via RJ-45 Ethernet- / LAN cable connected to the wireless router. Overcoming the data transmission path from the attic to the router usually improve the quality of data transmission from the satellite distribution to the DSL Wireless Router.

TV on an Apple Mac mini installed and connected via the HDMI cable to the TV set. The TV now has only the function of a monitor.
Now install the software from Elgato EyeTV 3, is given to the network tuner DVB-S with, on the Apple Mac mini, then we have a complete satellite TV can also surf and unlimited DSL Internet from the couch in.
Each set-top box of any manufacturer, whether external or built into the TV, offers the choice of provider restrictions.
With the "sat eyetv netstream" it is not possible, encrypted satellite programs receive, since no CI slot for Pay TV is available.
The crown of the operation is the use of small remote "Apple Remote" with the paid software "Remote Buddy". After the appropriate configuration of Apple Mac mini using keyboard, are now many programs and satellite programs are controlled via the remote control. That's a big advantage over many confusing remote controls with many buttons, because almost everything is controlled via visible on screen menus.
Anyone who owns an Apple iPhone, can "Apple Remote" save and expand its iPhone app for remote control via PC and TV eye.
Anyone who owns an Apple iPad using the EyeTV software can 3 on the iPad at any place within the reach of domestic wireless television.
Even users of a Windows 7 Television system can, but should the supplied Windows software in any way reach the level of appropriate software for Apple systems.
I wonder, why do other manufacturers do not offer such an open system for television and surfing? Whether set-top box or television manufacturer, I researched all the systems had been restrictions on the possible use. In the presented configuration provides an Apple “open system” an.
