DVB card (1 Viewer)

[RICHARDG]

Can someone recommend a Satelite card. I have seen a number of threads about different issues on different cards. So I am wondering which card is the best choice with the least amount of trouble. I looked at the instructions for adding a card thats not on the supported list. After picking my jaw up of the ground I decided to post this question.

Let me know please

Hi,

• If you want to decode scrambled channels and need DiSEqC (1.0) support: either FireDTV or FloppyDTV from DigitalEverywhere.
• If you don't need DiSEqC support, but want to be able to decrypt channels then a Twinhan Sat CI is also a possibillity (next to the FireDTV/FloppyDTV).
• If you just want to view Free To Air channels but do need DiSEqC (1.0), then a SkyStar2 would be a good option.
• If you just want to view Free To Air channels and don't need DiSEqC either, any supported DVB-S card will do. See the supported DVB-S hardware list for more cards; the definitive list of supported cards is in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml (not very readable) or review the changelog entries for dman_LFC's hard work (getting almost every card supported).

Kind regards,
Michel

Hi,

and what about a TT-Budget card? It supports DiseqC 1.0 and CAM, correct me if I'm wrong. The new card from technotrend, TT-budget S2-3200, also supports DVB-S2, which could be useful in the near future?

I find the Fire/FloppyDTV a bit expensive, could a TT-Budget user confirm the card operates fine with MP?

Regards,
Olivier.

TT s-1500 with Ci don't works well, seems work but you can't put Mp in stanby, because after resume tv don't works anymore cause internal Mp error on technotrend .... you can check this @ http://www.testteam-mediaportal.com/Joomla/forum/showthread.php?t=711

and this issue don't permit to scheduling records if you want use your Mp like a PVR-box, to record something have to let Pc powered on everytime
no one developer can help us because are all on work about tv engine 3 ...i suppose...

Your right about the XML file. I read it and my eyes started to bleed. Argh.
I want to be able to move my BEV account from my normal receiver to my MP device. I don't want to do anything illegal or in appropriate, but the flexibility that MP has over a regular receiver is immense.

So once I buy the card, is there a place one can go to better understand how to do this.
