[QUOTE="Griffon, post: 179761, member: 21972"] Hello all, It took me a while to decide, but I am planning to build a new HTPC. The new PC has to support DVB-S2 (MPEG4 and h.264) to be ready for the future! :D Now I had a look at the Technotrend S2-3200 and the newly released FloppyDTV DVB-S2. Firedtv claims this new DVB-S2 card 'supports' DVB-S2 (MPEG4 and h.264). But what does this mean? I would like to know the differences between the Technotrend and FloppyDTV. Like, is there a image-quality difference and which takes more CPU load? Which one should I choose? And last but not least: Is the FloppyDTV DVB-S2 supported in Mediaportal with Diseqc 1.x? My HTPC will be based on Intel C2D E6750 (or AMD eq.) 2GB RAM with ATI full-UVD graphics-card (Ati HD2400/2600 pro). In the future it must be possible to make a dual-tuner setup (by adding 2nd. DVB-S2 card). Hope one of you can help me! :) [/QUOTE]
