does it work with satellite boxes

The other two responses are what I'd agree with, but I can't give an honest answer since mine is connected directly with a cable system.

I doubt, that it works with satellite. Best would be, to send the question to Elgato support, they can answer it definetely.

Look for or ask if you satellite box outputs clear-QAM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAM_(television) It's very likely that you will only get the broadcast networks. If you can plug the coax output from your cable/sat box into your TV and the TV doesn't have any special cable features like a cable card you should be able to use this to record whatever you could watch on the TV.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have two eyeTV HD boxes connected to my DirectTV system, one run through a Mac Mini and the other through an iMac. You can use the TV blaster to control the satellite box and schedule recordings, but for various reason I don't use that feature. I did install it to ensure it works. I have not tried the eyeTV Hybrid specifically, but I have one for OTA video on my MacPro. If I ever get around to using it with the satellite box I'll post the results.

No. You do not need a cable or satellite to use this box. It can be use on its own as a media centre but if you want, you can connect a cable box to it and get your satellite channels as well.

I have it hooked up to a cable box but if the sattelite has a coaxle output I don't see why it wouldnt work. It does NOT have compenent inputs. Chris

It has a HDMI imput jack. So, if the cable or satellite device has a HDMI output .. It will work. Other wise it will work only as WIFI media center.

This satellite dish should work with all DirecTV receivers. The center LNB picks up all SD broadcasts, and the two outer LNBs pickup the HD signals.

No, this remote definetly can't. I am pretty sure the other remotes can't either. That is more of a set top box or satellite receiver feature.

Yes. But be aware-the box only works if you have a cable card installed. it will not work with a direct cable or antenna, only.

It does if you are a professional that knows what there doing. But it also ddepends on the satellite it does not work with swm. Lmbs

Yes. It has all the same requirements as a normal dish. This device just makes it MUCH easier to lock on to the satellite.

I'm not familiar with the specific antenna you mentioned but any Sirius antennas seems to work with this device.

No. All GPS receivers work by receiving the signal directly from the satellites. Al you have to do is turn the unit on and wait a few minutes for it to find the satellites in your area.

No it only works for over the air signals (OTA). And DO NOT buy this box! The company has shut down the DVR service and abandoned all its customers.

Believe it only works with standard receiver box. Call winegard or direct tv customer service.

Sorry, can't answer you question, as I ordered this item a looong time ago, so I can't even remember what it was that I used for (I think I was using it for an old direct tv satellite box, but again, not sure). I think back when I ordered it, technology wasn't as advanced/complicated as it is today, so this item can go either way (work or not)... Good luck...

you hook it up to the audio out on the tv, it should work normally, it does not have anything to do with the signal from cable or satellite.

Yes it does work with the box. You have to find the best location near a window.

If you can let me know what you are trying to do, I would be better able to say yes or no to your question. I connect my Nyrius receiver output to one of the HDMI inputs of my Sony receiver. That works perfectly because the signal transmitted from my laptop carries full surround sound audio, as well as HD video. If your satellite box has an appropriate HDMI input, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
