[QUOTE="starman345, post: 775469, member: 176635"] I had a Skywalker I a few years ago, it was a very nice unit, does all the fta stuff along with some other exotic modes I can't say for sure, but I think yes. In the various satellite forums people from all over talk about them so they must get around. I used mine for fta only and it was a really nice unit. The Skywalker I was a USB model, it put out 750ma for lnbf/motor control, most units I've had max out at 450ma. Genpix writes his own drivers and they are solid, I never had any problems. The unit worked with most dvb viewers AND there is a source file for TSREADER!!. I sold it when DVB-S2 came along, the Skywalker I won't do that, thats when the Skywalker II entered the scene. I had to log into my account on the Genpix site to see the pricing, guess you have to sign up for an account to see the $$. The Skywalker I sells for $210US, Skywalker II is $187US. I think I bought the I version around 2006 and it was a bit over $300 at that time. Indeed they are a very good unit. they do all the things other dvb cards do and they do it very well, firmware is very good. I've been pestering Genpix about availability of Skywalker III for a bit now but it seems to be bogged down. I would like to have one of his units working in CrazyScan. BTW, concerning DCII, yes the Skywalker I could handle that.. although there is precious little of it over NA. [/QUOTE]
