[QUOTE="Jaws, post: 770229, member: 105728"] I wouldn't believe it myself if someone told me. Fact is the tevii S480 didn't manage to playback or record some german tv stations. They are Pro7, Sat1 and kabel1 (there also is a fourth station but i don't recall the name as i never watch it). These stations all belong to one company and are transmitted in the same bouquet on Astra. It is mentioned in another thread here in the forum that these stations use an encoding for their programs that differs a little bit from what is normal. TV cards like the skystar that are distributed in germany for quite a while now "know" how to cope with these stations as they are among the most important in germany. I suppose there is a special decoding routine somewhere in the driver. Now, today a driver is not just one file but a set of files. I think that one or more files that form a bda driver have been replaced or updated when installing the skystar driver and that this gave the tevii driver the capability to handle these specially encoded stations. No idea if what i'm saying is right or wrong. I'm not a technician so tell me if what i say is crap. I just can't figure it out another way. Oh, i forgot to answer your question: regular skystar no HD. [/QUOTE]
