Cool Skystar2 internet? how why? aaargh!!

Hi guys, have browsed the forums but can't find just what i'm looking for. Have skystar2 working fine for satellite but wondered how I can get it working for internet, how good / reliable / fast this is and is it free or do you have to pay for a connection.

Thanks.

Well... you could download without having to subscribe to anything, the thing is you can't really choose what you're downloading. You have to use a plugin in progdvb, configure it right and get lot's of porn. This is a guide that teaches you on how to do it, it's in portuguese so you have to translate it using google I can't be bothered.

My System: Fortec Star Dynamic Decoder 90cm Dish USALS Motor SkyStar2 PCI PROG DVB DVB VIEWER

I had a one way connection using my sky star2 for about a year. My provider was AliceSat. There were a lot of hidden charges. If you can get ADSL in your area it will certainly be a better deal and a faster uplink connection. Unless the uplink site is close to you may also get fleeced by your phone company. Of course I am in Italy not exactly the most advanced country in Europe when it comes to Internet connectivity. Maybe you can get a better deal where you are.

Good Luck

James
