One feature that springs to mind is that it has a TV Out connector, and if I am not mistaken, a possibility to add a CI CAM. But it is an old card and there is no support for it. Personally I wouldn't touch it. | |||

Also they have hardware decoding, easier on your CPU. As HB says, not much support now, although I think the later version of DVB Viewer will work with it. Llew | ||

My System: Covering 30W-105.5E range, two motors, C and Ku band. Various receivers/cards/cams/etc. | There are two skystars 1 - One with CI module is nothing just rebranded TwinHan VP1031, with software mpeg decode and so on. Original SkyStar 1 has hardware mpeg2 decoder (only actual if you have pentium 2/3) and tv out. Original SkyStar1 is limited in Symbol rate (range is 8000-30000 afaik), while Skystar2 can handle 1000-45000. | ||
