I'm trying to find an satellite receiver with HD-SDI out. It is 45' from my sat receiver to my scaler and pj via a soffit with three 90 degree turns and I would prefer not to have to drag an hdmi cable through it.

My random googling turned up the following SFX Pro Video sat receivers. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what they do :o . They have HD-SDI out. If I connect one to a new DVDO VP50Pro scaler with HD-SDI in will it work? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

what services or channels would you hope to view with this?

In my simple minded approach I thought I could feed it an RF Direct TV sat signal via coax but I don't really understand what this box does.

The following phrase are what caught my attention:

Video Outputs: HD-SDI, SD-SDI
HDMI
Composite (NTSC or Pal)

Inputs: Satellite
