am looking to buy a new dvb-s card i currently have a 1030 but it wont switch lnb's anymore could be the switch i am going to get a spaun 4 in 2 out so i can maybe do dual tuner later down the road hopefully with a skywalker but for now i am looking for a fairly affordable dvb-s card that will work well in media portal and everything else. My main desire is channel changing speed i have hunted for the last week for info and all i have found is an old thread saying the stb0899 demod is fastest but after exhaustive googling i am unable to find out which cards have this chip and are fully supported in media portal.
any advice would be greatly appreciated like card model, your experience, channel changing speed, diseqc support, lnb switching reliability.
not trying to get spoon fed been on here for about a month just reading this is my first post but i have been unable to locate any definitive info on what the best card is for my desires.

asus ma378 emh-hdmi
amd 5000+ X2
2 gig pc6400
500 gig sata hd
windows xp sp2 with all patches for mp
