I have a slim HTPC and cannot use a conventional PCI satellite tuner card. I am looking for an S2 HD tuner to use with Vista Media Centre with TV pack installed.

I have narrowed my choice down to the two units in my heading. Anyone any experience and /or views?

I've got the non-S2 version of the FireDTV and the tuner is great for weaker signals. I live in an Astra 2D fringe reception area, and can pull in all the horizontals no problem.

I like the look of the Skystar, prefer USB2 to firewire, and like that it is an external box with CI slot. But I am still waiting to hear if it works with VMC TV pack.

I need to have recordable subtitles and TV pack gives me that.
