My System: FTE Max, Skystar2.3 and Skystar2.6, 2.2m Kinhuge Dish with Inverto LNB and Invacom ADF-120 feedhorn. Pace 1.3.25 and 80cm for Sky. | DVBDream. Find an elecard video codec (for 4:2:2 feeds), and the cyberlink video codec, then download the "Complete Plugins", "Pr3mier & D+" and "TP5.bin" (daily) from DVBsoft.eu That's my opinion anyway. | ||

Congratulation for your new Skystar2 With the original pack of SS2 you must have the CD, which has the driver for SS2 and the DVBViewer software to watch/listen Satellite TV & Radio. With addition to that, you can try your flavour with most popular progDVB(FREE), MyTheatre, AltDVB, DVBDream,MythTV(Linux),etc ... And put plugins in ur plugins directory and enjoy PAY channels with keys. You can grab data using FileGrabber, SkyNet,SkyGrabber,etc ..... All the s/w you will get from www.skaystar.org, www.skystar-2.com, and lot more ..... BOL | ||

My System: skystar2 pci skystar usb + porty lidl camping dish maybe one day i'll have a dreambox 500s... |
You have the choice between different drivers from the technisat site: 4.3.2... 4.4.0... 4.4.1 beta (BDA)... i suggest you use 4.4.0, download them from technisat's site and nowhere else. Progdvb is the most famous program, it's total crap but it's one of those things, you have to have used it once and then forget about it  The skystar 2 comes bundled with a "light" version of DVBViewer , it's crap too. Not to be mistaken with DVBviewer PRO. And there's technisat's SETUP4PC which has a filter inside that's needed by some applications, noticeably Progdvb. But you don't have to install it if your using dvbdream or alt-dvb. Personnally i don't like dvbdream, the only feature it has that i find funny (and useful) is that it will say the colour sampling of a broadcast - it'll say if it's 4:2:0 or 4:2:2, but then again, there's other ways of finding that out. I say try Alt-dvb 2.2 (not 2.1) and drivers 4.4.0. Then you'll need a couple of nice codecs to go along too, but that'll depend on your HW setup. | |||
