[QUOTE="nanders, post: 32630, member: 17842"] Hi there I used some time last year finding a DVB-S card suitable for MP. I ended up with a [url=http://www.technisat.com/?site=produkte/produkteview.php&kid=1,29&pid=1491]Technisat Skystar 1 CI[/url], but soon learned that this card is actually just a clone of a [url=http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite_5.asp]TwinhanDTV Sat-CI[/url] card. The bad thing about this is that it is the only Skystar card which havn't got hardware decoding. But the good thing is that by using the Twinhan BDA drivers you can actually get it to work on MP. So I bought that card along with a Conax CAM module, and my Canal Digital card works perfectly. Some channels lacked sound, and I can't figure out why. And my HTPC box is to slow, so the image and the recorded shows isn't that nice. So currently I am trying to work out what hardware components needs to be improved. But I think the key here is to ensure that the DVB-S card you choose have some kind of BDA drivers available. Also hardware MPEG-2 decoding is nice but hard to come by and/or expensive. [/QUOTE]
