I got the Technisat about a year ago and am very happy. I run it on a similar set up to what you have and it hasn't missed a beat. Am using the CI module with a UPC card. The only thing I was disappointed with was the packaged software which I found to slow. But I bought DVBViewer which works very well and has lots of options for HTPC etc. goodluck | ||

My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc. | Recently I've purchased AverMedia DVB-S Hybrid II card (A706R) and very amazed by just fantastic sensitivity it has! For example, where other receivers (a lot of them checked) report "no signal", this card locks signal, finds channel, and even can partially watch. Where's other have "weak signal" this one displays absolutely trouble free signal. BIG drawback is: 1. bundled media center software is very limited capability. 2. diseqc control works only in progdvb | ||
