[QUOTE="BGonaSTICK, post: 187293, member: 176912"] LOL, yes, my avatar is shafted :( You're right, it seems a bit of a mess, but S2 chipset production hasn't really started rolling yet. Major players only announced finalised specifications at the beginning of the year. I imagine that newer chipsets won't include DVB-S decoding forever, as there won't be any S1 transmissions to decode! As a footnote to all the talk of high powered computers to run HD on the Skystar2 with fancy codecs etc, I just bagged this screenshot on my lowly Athlon XP2500 (1.83GHz) with ProgDVB right out of the box and only the standard Elecard decoders. If you switch all the other crap off on your PC, it rocks. £40 well spent. [/QUOTE]
