[QUOTE="s*t*a*r*m*a*n, post: 6422, member: 175004"] Hi Guys :) I would agree with rolf and just buy a dedicated sat box as your existing card isnt much good for sat tv only internet by satellite. I opted for the full internet/tv version as i originally only wanted it for the internet satellite service with europe online and decided that if the internet side of things fell apart (which it did for me :( then atleast i would have the tv side of the card functioning. I dont regret doing this as i have had good use of it though the extra expence of buying the cam and the card :) does up the price by about £80 to over a hundred extra. I have a motorised setup so do not use the diseqe/lmb switches but saying that i very rarely move the dish beyond hotbird 13 east and astra 19 east anyway and i do not thing it cost me much more to do it this way anyway. The pentamedia card is a nice card as far as tv picture quality goes but the software drivers are bugged to high heaven and looking back i definately would have bought another card but there ARE worse ones out there as regards tv picture quality etc. The card is also supposed to be a capture card but i aint seen it capture **** all since i got mine.
