Hi,
I have recently returned to NZ after some years in the UK. I have a HTPC already although I will be rebuilding this shortly, using Vista ultimate.
I have a standalone freeview stb at the moment which is working fine, so my dish and LNB are OK. I would like to get DVB-S tv into my HTPC. Its a PCI based 32 bit machine. Im not too bothered about having sky at the moment.
There seem to be a variety of cards available to do this, is there a consensus on which one is the best??
At the moment I am tending towards the Hauppauge Nova-S plus, as it is from a well known company, cheap and easy to get hold of, and there seems to be plenty of info about how to get it to run with MCE...
Alternatives:
Technisat Skystar 2
Twinhan
Technotrend S-1500, seems to be the same as the nova-s plus
Avermedia
Please let me know your experiences with these cards!!
Regards
rupee
