[QUOTE="peaceandlove, post: 555189, member: 179427"] As you seem to have a sky star 2 and a diablo you may be the person to ask a few questions if you dont mind. Im thinking of upgrading my skystar 2 usb to the hd ci usb version for hd purposes the thing is I have a normal 3 year old computer with 17 inch flat screen but no special hd screen, also conections to my monitor is by the normal conectors you would find on a standard computer. My specs of the computer are well outdated but reach the minimum standard required for HD-CI usb skystar. i have pentium 4, windows xp, 2.8ghz speed, 2 gigabytes ram and 160gig harddrive. Would i need to purchase a hd computor monitor with hdmi inputs as well as possibly have to fit a new video card to my computor with hdmi out puts in order to veiw hd content, or would the hd work with my existing set up through the existing monitor with the existing connection, As it is i am unable to veiw any of the existing HD channels available on hotbird/Astra 1 with vplug and altdvb and a hd video codex packs inlc cyberlink,powerdvd,nivada and lots of others, or maybe its not poss to veiw anything on astra on hotbird on emu using my existing setup. with regards to the unit itself does the remote control only work with dvb veiwer or can it be pluged into the likes of altdvb,( my fav veiw for pic quality) my theatre and other dvb players, also on to the cam, can you only get this to be recognised in dvb veiwer also could you use your diablo in conjuction with the vplug emu, or would you have to disable vplug and Finaly does your diablo work for the 1West hd channels [/QUOTE]
