[QUOTE="alnitak, post: 22919, member: 176235"] I'm planning to add a DVB-s card (and likely a DVB-t card too) to my 1.2 GHz Duron system. I'll probably start with my existing Win2K install, but will probably move over to Linux once I've got bored of the supplied software. This will then become a PVR system. I don't need a TV out, and as I understand it it's the MPEG playback rather than PVR recording that benefits mostly from the higher-end cards. Are there any fundamental differences between the Nexus-s and the SkyStar 1 other than the bundled software? I've seen good prices for the SkyStar card from retail suppliers on eBay (£129, if I recall) Alternatively it would seem that I could probably get by quite happily with a SkyStar 2, particularly with its support for >4 streams on data services and with the "new improved" version now out with better receiver sensitivity. I'd welcome any knowledgable feedback before I part company with my hard earned cash :-) thanks, [/QUOTE]
