My System: Topfield 6000CR, Triax 88, multi LNB set up (Sky+ & Astra 3a/1e) |
Hi guys, I want to use DVB S USB card as sat meter instead of just buying cheap beeper meters or wasting money on expensive LCD sat finders. I am deciding between TBS Q Box DVB-S usb and Technisat Skystar USB 2. Does anyone have an experience with finding satellites using these cards. Do they recognize different satellites and show signal strenght levels for fine tuning? Any recommendation which one should I go for? Skystar is about £25 more expensive, is it worth the money? Many thanks, Dex | ||

I would think it would also work with the USB version. But check for working devices here - _www.fastsatfinder.com/fsf.html Llew | ||
