Hi Guys,
I'm new on this forum. Just started last month with my mediacenter build with Mediaportal. I'm very sattisfied with this combination and I'm thinking of expanding the functions of my MCE with TV viewing. At this moment I'm using a Dreambox DM7000s with a Visiosat dish voor reception of Astra 1, 2, 3 and Hotbird. The Dreambox DM7000s is a DVB-S receiver with a single tuner. Because I'm from the Netherlands, I have a subscribtion for Canal Digitaal that provides a SECA3 smartcard.
So, what I'm looking for is a perfect combination for a smooth HDTV viewing experience in MCE with the following criteria:
- Internal solution based on PCI or PCI-E
- 2 tuner DVB-S2 card for simultanius watching and recording TV
- onboard or external cardreader with support for SECA3.
- card which supports DisQuec 1.1 or higher.
I'm not the lazy type so I already looked around on the web for possible solutions. There are just 3 cards I found on the web that compty to my needs:
- TBS6980
- KNC One TV-Station DVB-S2 Twin (not available yet)
- Mystique SaTiX-S2 Dual DVB-S2 PCI-e 1x
All card lack the option of an on-card cardreader or CI-slot.
Does anybody use these cards? What's the card with the best picture quality? And what kind of cardreaders /CI-slots do you use in combination with any of the above DVB-S2 cards?
