[QUOTE="MPM, post: 882476, member: 54710"] Hi all, After 6+ years with MePo and DVB-C I will be switching to DVB-S and need some advice on a choice of card. Only real musts for me are CI/CAM support and performance (FireDTV-C has set the bar high). HDTV is also a must, but almost all new cards support it... Both internal and external cards are of interest, that variable is not important compared to the ones above. I will also need the ability to watch multiple (coded) channels at the same time so the card should either have multiple tuners (with multiple CI/CAM support) or it should be possible to install multiple cards (and have them supported by MePo). Given the previous condition, multichannel decoding is desired but not a deal-breaker. Have searched the forum(s) and got scared by the number of "...issues with..." posts. Seems like there is no DVB-S2 card that is a full-proof solution like FireDTV was in the DVB-C world. Or am I wrong? (With that in mind, I'm extra curious about recommendations from users with similar hardware or/and same TV provider...) Anyway, seems like cards that would suit my needs and have received fairly good (i.e. more positive than negative) feedback are TechnoTrend Budget S2-3200 HDTV-S2, Digital Devices Cine S2 v6, SkyStar HD2 / Terratec Cinergy S2 PCI HD. Between those three my favorit is at the moment TechnoTrend due to general user feedback and multichannel decoding support... All input is extremely appreciated! Regards, MPM [/QUOTE]
