My System: Skystar2, Fortecstar Passion HD, moteck 2100, Lidl 80cm dish |
Having discovered that I can't use my Skystar2 pci in my new motherboard (Asus A8N SLi), I thought it worthwhile starting a new thread to highlight the issue, which has resulted in some people damaging their motherboards. See this link:- _http://www.dvbviewer.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7761&st=0&p=63636& I would also like some advice on what to do now, as I need a Skystar2 compatible Socket 939 motherboard, which will accept my AMD64 4000 cpu and my nvidia 7800gt pci/e graphics card. Any suggestions as to what would be best? Thanks Woody | ||

| I'm on my second Asus A8N MB which has now gone belly up, and I have read various reports of it not likeing TV cards in general. I have ordered a Skystar USB and probably have to RMA the second motherboard. These things should come with a warning! | ||

| Well I have RMA'd the Asus and am now the owner of a DFI lan Party Extreme. Someone stated on another forum that he was running the skystar2 on a DFI Nforce motherboard, only thing is I'm terrified to try it! I dont want to see a third board die on me, I think my retailer must think I buy them and throw them at the wall. | ||

My System: Skystar2, Fortecstar Passion HD, moteck 2100, Lidl 80cm dish | Best of luck Pinkerton. If you do decide to take the plunge, let us know if it works. I just bought a Twinhan Starbox USB2 to use with my ASUS board. Can't get the bl**dy thing to work though | ||

My System: Skystar2, Fortecstar Passion HD, moteck 2100, Lidl 80cm dish | Got the Twinhan box working now, it came with a duff USB cable! Seems to work fine with My theatre and plug-ins. HDTV looks good on it as well  Couldn't get it work with Progdvb though, prog freezes when scanning for channels Not yet worked out how to move the moteck from MT without USALS, is this possible? | ||

My System: Skystar2, Fortecstar Passion HD, moteck 2100, Lidl 80cm dish | Pleased to hear it works. Just for the record could you give the model number of your DFI board, if my Twinhan box goes belly up I might need to get one. Also, are you using your SS2 to drive a motor? | ||
