Hi!
I'm currently running my HTPC with a DVB-C card (Cinergy C PCI HD) and it is working very nice, I do not have any problems.
Now I'm thinking to get and DVB-S2 card and mount a sat dish. For this reason, I would need a reasonable priced card that is capable of handling Diseqc 1.2 motor for rotating the dish and has no problems in MP.
Some have suggested the SkyStar 2 eXpress HD PCIe card as a good choice, but I did see that there might be some problems with this card. The price of this card is fine, it is low profile, and has extra power source which is important for the motor.
Anybody who is using this card successfully in MP with a similar setup?
BTW, should I use an external program in MP for viewing DVB-S2 or the default is fine (that I assume is WindwosMediaPlayer).
Thanks!
