TBS5925-New Toy?

[snapperoonie]

I'm beginning to get the urge for a new toy and quite fancy a TBS5925 to have a go at some feed hunting, my question is how do I best integrate tis into my present system as listed on the left?

If you don't plan to use it with your PC then it can work fine on your Vu Duo with the OpenPLI based SatDreamGr image as an external tuner (which will actually show correct SNR values, rather than the faulty ones by Vu)!

Have you seen the price difference variation online? Are there fakes of these? RRP (I know, no such thing these days but hey!) seems to be £200 but there's the "from Hong Kong" price of a mere £140!?!

TBH I didn't know this was even possible my first thoughts were to use it on my laptop via an A/B switch.
I do however like the idea of using it in conjunction with my Duo and to that end I have been reading around a bit but can't find a basic tutorial so if anyone could point me in the direction of one I would be grateful, one last question I have is how would the thing be hooked up IE what cables would I need and what plugs in to what.
Thanks in anticipation.

I don't think they are fake. Prices in the UK are always too high.
AliExpress price US $216.19 / piece free shipment
You might need to add local VAT or any other absurd tax.

Being USB do you think this would play 4K feeds alright without frame drops? Surely must be limited to the speed of USB unless its 3.0 which I dont think it is?
