Request - advice on best DVB-s2 USB 2.0 box

[Tektronix]

Hi all,

I'm after a DVB-s2 USB 2.0 box with the following features:

USB 2.0
DVB-S2 / HD / MPEG-4-/H.264
DiSEqC 1.2
CI Interface
BDA drivers for Windows 7 64bit Media Center support
(which now includes multi tuner DVB-t Freeview and DVB-s Freesat support)
DVB Viewer compatible

I've done some research and found these:

Technisat SkyStar USB 2 HD CI
_http://www.technisat.com/indexdb3d.html?nav=PC_products,en,76-228 - TechniSat SkyStar USB 2 HD CI [4104/3733]

TechnoTrend USB-Box TT-connect S2-3650 CI
_http://www.dvbshop.net/index.php/cat/c473_TechnoTrend.html - TechnoTrend

Could anyone comment on which is best to go for or any good alternatives?

I would like to use the new DVB-S2 USB unit with my DELL XPS M1330 laptop.

Much appreciated

Windows 7 Media Center / BDA Drivers + Setup pdf instructions
Multi Tuner (more than one anysee should be connected)
Smard Card Slot (CI)
DiSEqC 1.0 & 2.0

On the website the downloads include setup procedures for Windows 7 Media Center and it will work with the x64 version apparently.

A loop-out also exists to allow two units to be used as a dual tuner.

To get an idea for the size of the boxes, here are the DVB-t versions:

I had a go at this back in May 2010 and got nowhere

Hope this helps. If anyone knows of a better one please add it to this thread.

Have you purchased the card or not? Why didn't you consider Technisat SkyStar ? a good brand and can be used for card sharing too.
