TechniSat Multytenne & SkyStar 2 TV PCI Card

Ferguson

I have been looking for a good satellite dish with at least 3 LNB's to pick up the various Eutelsat and Astra satellites. I have been recomended a TechniSat Multytenne, has anyone got one or used one before? TechiSat offer a 45CM Multytenne, but no larger dishes with the DiSEqC switch built-in. I live in Sheffield, England - will I recieve a good, clear reception from the satllites with this dish? I read somewhere that the dish has been tested up to Birmingham with good quality, Sheffield is not too far north of Birmingham.

Secondly, if I am to choose this satellite dish, I would be connecting it to a PCI card for my PC. TechiSat offer a package which includes the Multytenne dish and their own SkyStar 2 TV PCI card, however I had originally decided on the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S-Plus as I have used WinTV products before and I like them. Has anyone used the SkyStar?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Nothing wrong with the Skystar2, superb little card.

Not sure how well the dish will perform in Sheffield, I would not recommend a 45cm dish for Astra1 and Hotbird, although the Technisat dish and LNB are matched, so will probably produce better results than a non-matched setup.

The third sat on this LNB is 23.5E, don't ecpect to see anything from it in the UK with that sized dish.
