Integrated satellite TV tuner
Solved
Hello,
I currently have a Philips flat screen TV, 12 years old, with a satellite dish.
I currently have a STRONG SRT 7402 receiver, with a TNTSAT card, to receive all kinds of free channels. My satellite dish points to the ASTRA 19.2E satellite.
I would like to switch to a UHD 4K LED TV. All models offer a built-in satellite tuner (DVB-S2 for example), some with access to CANAL.
Question:
Will I be able to do without my current receiver?
Can I use the same TNTSAT card on the television, without needing my current decoder?
Do I need to buy a card reader to insert into the TV?
Will I have access to the ASTRA satellite, just like I do now, with the same channels?
Thank you for your explanations.

Hello,
So "NO" you cannot do without your Tntsat receiver...
"NO" you cannot use the card directly on your TV...
"NO" you cannot insert a Tntsat decoder into your TV...
and again "NO" you will not have the same channels since the channels from Tntsat are encrypted, you will only be able to see the free (unencrypted) channels from the Astra 1 satellite.

Exactly...
I see that you are a specialist. Since more than 6 months have passed since your response, my question is: Is there still no integrated card reader that allows capturing (and therefore decoding) the DTT signal (in HD, if possible)? Thank you.
