Hi,

I can buy a FireDTV-S pretty cheap and i wonder if it would be stupid to do so?
Will there be channels i can't watch in the near future?

Live in Sweden and use Canal Digital.

Regards Thomas

    THe Floppy S is not able to receive any HD-Channels. I don't know if you have a lot of HD-Channels in Sweden, I can only speak for Germany, we don't have pretty much HD-Channels right now and in the near future.
    If you don't want to watch HD-Channels in the near future the Floppy S is a good choice, if you want to be prepared for the future you ought to buy a Floppy S2

    I have Canal digital to and got a FloppyDTV-S2 yesterday. I could watch the 8 HD channels i have (and yous should have them to) except that my computer is little to slow for HD :(

    I suspect the number of HD channels will increase allot in the future but you can always start with the S variant if its really cheap and later upgrade to S2 to get the HD channels.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
