[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 183078, member: 176912"] Hmmm, at the risk of getting slagged off for repeating myself from earlier in this thread, the only thing you need to both view and record perfect quality S1 HD TV on the Skystar 2 is a fast PC, some decent/recent filters/codecs and half an hour's fiddling about.

It may take some fine tuning to obtain a stable picture when watching live but recording to disk with the real-time video decoding turned off can be performed on quite a cr@ppy PC.
