[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1106497, member: 176704"] Update :( Well, I finally did get a TBS 6902 card in the middle of last week and ([I]certainly not "helped" by the [B]totally crap[/B] current version of ProgDVB Pro s/w[/I] [I]I'm using - bought it some yrs ago, and so I thought I'd try what I already had before getting anything else!)[/I], I've finally got it running "half-decently" - but am now [I]very [/I]under-impressed by this card because the sensitivity is [I]much, much.[/I] poorer than the SX88 which locks weaker channels on 52E that the 6902 can't even get [I]any SQ at all[/I] on. OK, I do know that "[I]you get what you pay f[/I]or" (and I paid around a hundred quid for this one), and also that if I had paid two hundred quid plus then I would probably have got something considerably better overall. Therefore, I'm thinking of sending this one back with the 14 day "period of grace", and getting "something better" - [B]so is there anything "better" [I]between [/I]£100 & £200??[/B] PS: As above, I have ProDVB Pro (as well as DVBViewer) on the PC in question but I intend to try Crazyscan if and when I get a sat card that can "deliver" - but I'm in the [I]very[/I] early stages of exploring this sort of stuff and so I think that the latter is probably a "bridge too far" for me (especially as some LINUX solutions are currently also a "bridge too far" for me ATM - AND considerable very serious "brother-in-law" issues continue to "intrude" on a daily basis, and those won't go away any time soon :angry:). Thus, does anyone have suggestions for suitable "user friendly" PC WIN 10-compatible s/w for the same type of use??? Thx in advance. [/QUOTE]
