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 !)

Too late.

Tomorrow morning I'm receiving the newly bought SkyStar 2 v2.6b

Paid it 28£ .. hope it's not too much.

It's ok if it has some limitations, as I'm a newbie I don't think I'm gonna be doing too many things right now. Also because I still have only 2 dishes with univeral LNB available ("sky type dish" .. but one is 96cm)
One is to Astra 19E and the other one will be pointed to HotBird 9 (13E ?)

Question ... Do you know if the 2.6b is able to do blind scanning ?
I tried to read most material on LinuxTV.org but didn't really say. Any good resource, apart from forums, that you know on Feed Hunting techniques and best practices ?

Also .. generally speaking do these DVB-S card also pick up analogic satellite transmissions or it requires (I suppose) a separate/different tuner silicon onboard ?

Thank you again for your precious help.
