[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 983835, member: 325666"] Only the Lband Dish uses LNAs ...and these have to present as the effectively comprise the lnb ... C band lnbs dont need or use em as you know .. So although do-able with Pi-s I really cant see any great advantage ...and would make the system more expensive ... For now I'll stick with convention and cross my fingers the usb3 card for a tenner all in ...does the job ..thus zadig can be installed My worry is that the USB chip on the card doesn't like RTL dongles .. But where the card does score is that it can be connected to a sata power plug in the PC so no more current demand issues .. This is the spec :- [B]Specifications:[/B] Supports PCI Express2.0 X1 Lane, can transferring up to 5Gbps MAX. Supports USB 3.0 specification typeA Connector X 4ports. Backward compatible with USB 1.1/USB 2.0. Supports the following speed data rate: Low-speed(1.5Mbps)/Full-speed(12Mbps)/High-speed(480Mbps)/Super-speed(5Gbps). Supports PCI Low profile. Supports External power plug in order to supply power for each USB3.0. Up to 900mA MAX/port. [B]System Requirements:[/B] PC with 512MB of RAM and 1.0GHz or faster processor. One available PCI Express 1.x/4.x/16.x slot System Support: Windows XP / Vista / Windows7 (32/64 bit)/Windows8 (32/64 bit). [B]Note:[/B] To achieve the maximum throughput, the PCI-Express slot must be version 2.0 or higher. Performance per port may decrease if multiple ports are transferring data simultaneously due to limited throughput of the PCI-Express slot. To meet USB 3.0 transfer speed, high quality USB 3.0 cables and devices are required. Supports both 32-bit & 64-bit OSes. Make sure the power is well connected; otherwise you will see a "Power Surge on Hub Port" message error and no 5V bus power in USB ports. [B]Specifications:[/B] Certifications: CE, FCC, RoHS Item size: 12 * 8cm / 4.7 * 3.1in Item weight: 52g / 1.8oz Package size: 15 * 13 * 3cm / 5.9 * 5.1 * 1.2in Package weight: 115g / 4.1oz [B]Package list: [/B]C1739 1 * PCI Express Card[ATTACH=full]97083[/ATTACH] 1 * Low Profile Bracket 2 * Screws 1 * Software Drivers CD 1 * User Manual [/QUOTE]
