Hi there. I live in a remote part of New Zealand where reception for DVB-T is difficult to come by and non existent for many people in my area.

It would be nice to be able to tune a TV with built in freeview using a dish (DVB-S) instead of a terrestrial aerial (DVB-T). People want to be able to use their new TV to view freeview rather than use another remote and system.

Has anyone heard of a way to convert between the two platforms? I have had the idea of using an LNB-F that is capable of dropping the frequencies lower than usual to match UHF or VHF frequencies that are able to be tuned in with a DVB-T TV. Ideally I would like to make a box that is capable to converting these frequencies after a standard 10750/13000 LNB-F.

New Zealand uses the MPEG-2 standard for it's DVB-S service as I believe Australia does for it's DVB-T service. My theory says this should work if tuned in with the country setting set to Australia.

I have tried to figure out how to make such a device myself with no such luck on the internet. Any help from anyone who has tried the same thing or has any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers.
 

Your idea can be implemented with PC + DVB-S PCI/USB receiver + DVB-T USB transmitter.
And, you need to write pieces of codes to bridge the receiver and transmitter.
It's very easy to find a DVB-S PCI/USB receiver, while DVB-T transmitter is available on http://www.hides.com.tw/product_cg74469_eng.html#310685
