I have a cheap (lidl) satellite dish and box that have been in service for almost 2 years now.
Recently when building a new computer I bought one of these satellite cards. It had a few issues in setting up, but these were resolved with the new Windows 7 drivers, from the Compro website.
However Windows media centre has been a real eye opener. It tuned in quite a few channels, including BBC HD, which was my main reason for buying the card, as my box is only SD.
The most exciting bit is the EPG though. It gives me a 14 day channel guide and allows several recording options, including picking a programme to record, and recording of the whole series. I thought you needed Sky or Freesat to get anything other than now or next on satellite. Is anyone else using this? What do you think of it?
