[QUOTE="Eddy, post: 45821, member: 19547"] Hi, the precise question is in fact What is the best hardware configuration in order to get the fastest possible zapping speed when switching channel from a bi-headed satellite dish ? Here my current configuration (got no HTPC yet) Bi-headed Parabole pointed to Astra (Canalsat viaccesss card subscription) and Hotbird currently managed by a 7 yr old Aston Xena 1500 receiver (DiSEqC 1.0) Today, switching between channels takes far too many seconds compared to what I may have seen on other satellite configurations So, as I am busy building a new PC in order to host MP, I wanted to know what would be the ideal hardware configuration (tuner card etc) in order to get the fastest zapping speed (if any significant differences there are between cards) I saw the recommended â€œHTPC Configurationsâ€ page of the new wiki was not yet filledâ€¦ Any other advices on the best proven / rock solid / no brainer TV card configuration is welcome :-) (got no free time for installation bugs and any other diseqc issue solving) Thks a lot Eddy, MP newbie [/QUOTE]
