My System: SkyStar2 2.6 PCI - 90cm old Sky dish w/Universal LNB - and more "recycled" dishes (there are 5 on my roof .. not being used !)
Exclamation Cards for feed hunting :)

Hi,

I read a few of the articles and I can understand that Hauppages and SkyStar cards seem to be the best.

However I am curious if someone has knows of cheap/simpler cards which are compatible with the linux modules (to use dvb* tools). I am only interested on the technical side of it and I don't really care having a good quality feed displayed (I.e. HD). However I wouldn't like to be limited by the card on decoding and other hw features.

I have seen on Ebay cards from HK for about 20£. What's your thoughts ?

P.S.= I am just starting and I want to keep a VERY low budget as I have already wasted money on so many hobbies which I didn't eventually pursue, so I am aware that eventually there will be a "minimum" of equipment quality required. At present I am only interested in a "taster".

THANK YOU !
