Looking for a DVB-s card (1 Viewer)

[Keldandorin]

Hi!
I'm looking for a DVB-s Card with cam support. (Swedish CanalDigital)
I'v been looking at two twinhan cards but can't tell the diff. betwin them
http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite_s2_CI.asp and
http://www.twinhan.com/product_satellite_1034.asp

Any one know?
Or is there better ones for me to use?

Thx

I have used the Twinhan Sat-Ci card for a while with mediaportal and used it with a conax 4.0E cam for Canal Digital support...

Overall performance is good but theres alot of tweaking before it works fine... The BDA drivers are so and so, the included software is pure crap and so on....

I have now placed an order for a FloppyDTV because of lacking number of PCI slots on my new MB so im waiting for that now...

Heres a link to the card ive been using.

Twinhan Sat-Ci

Keep in mind that you will need a Conax cam (4.0-4.0E) and a red Canal Digital smart card... The best driver for any MP release is BDA1.2.3.4

The red smart card from canal digital is for use with CAMs, The blue is for media highway support and the Yellow for their pairing system...

Well, the installation isn´t that tricky if your used to a computer... But it aint exactly happy clicking install either...

Im gonna install the floppydtv tonight after work (it´s laying in the local post office right now...)

I have now installed my Floppy DVB-S card and it works like a charm, much faster channel changes then the twinhan and alot higher signal strength, AC3 pids works without hitching and other problems.

Im very satisfied with the improvement with this card, didn´t actually think that it would be that mouch of a difference between these cards but boy was i wrong, the video is absolutley stutter free and channelscan work immediatly in both Mediaportal and MyTheatre..

Ill have to give this card a 5 out of 5 possible starts

Darn gladd

O boy I'm I glad you answered my thread .

Guess I'm going for a Floppy DVB-S now

Where did you order it from?
Dos it work with pay channels?

Is this the right model for canaldigital FloppyDTV S/CI with Conax CAM (V4.00e)?
