[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 665638, member: 300998"] I got this card several time ago, and doing some experiments with it. I really liked the info panel of V@box control app. It gives you a lot of information about your signal, including details never seen (personally) on any other PCI DVB-S Card. The most valuable information is very detailed SNR and LNB Freq. ofset. What these mean in general life? Knowing exact SNR will allow you to select the best LNB from available ones. Also, you can select LNB with minimal frequency offset, which is very critical for low SR transponders. Regarding DVB software, I've tested the following with it: DVBDream - works OK, but heavy pixelized picture and choppy sound, feels that signal is not enough, but ProgDVB - works quite fine with it. MyTheatre - despite announced support, I was not able to use this card with this app. It should be noted, that using minimal hardware modification, this card can be turned into fully functional, realtime spectrum analyzer! Details here: _ttp://www.moonglow.net/tvro/blsa.html Also, this card has built-in smartcard reader, but I found no software with it's support, even oficial bundle says nothing about this smart card reader. So, if you see this card somewhere around cheap, go get it, definetly worth. [/QUOTE]
