[QUOTE="Anonymous-A, post: 619253"] Having had both Bis and TNTSAT cards I thought I should add my tuppenceworth. The Bis card offers more flexibility in where you can run it. On the 5W satellite it uses the FTA versions of France 2,3,5 and arte which provide the best quality SD pictures for these channels. On 13E France 2,3,5 and arte are encrypted and frankly the picture quality is soft compared to 5W. Having finally got my TNTSAT card to work in a Diablo cam I must say that getting the HD versions of TF1, France 2, arte and M6 is a real bonus. You also get all the France 3 regional channels as well but the picture quality of the SD channels on TNTSAT at 19E is soft compared to the 5W versions as well. The upside of a Bis card is that it is more flexible -the Technomate TM-6800/6900 Super card reader reads the card, as does a T-Rex running Predator, or a Viaccess 3 cam - but doesn't supply HD. I've now switched over completely to TNTSAT on 19E. The downside is that you need to buy a Strong 6410 box to get the TNTSAT card and you will need a Diablo cam running Underworld 1.79 (the latest Underworld won't decode the card). The Strong is crap, just use it to authorise the card and then put it back into its cardboard box and forget about it until the TNTSAT card expires in four years time. Don't buy the Strong 6410 from a UK vendor on eBay. You will be charged twice the price that a French vendor will charge. Search for TNTSAT on ebay and find a French vendor that sells the Strong 6410 or 6420 and you should pay the standard price for it. There is no need to buy a HD box, as the TNTSAT card as authorised will decode the HD TNTSAT channels in a Diablo cam in the box of your choice. The Strong 6410 will only tune into the Astra 1 satellite. It will pick up other FTA channels on Astra 1 such as the German channels or BBC World News but it does not support USALS. It is truly a useless piece of kit. The only reason to buy it is that I believe it is the only receiver that supplies the TNTSAT card. A note for Dreambox users: I had a Dreambox 7025 up to last year and found that the Bis channels (except TF1) were very pixellated on that box. I found that the picture quality of the Bis channels was markedly better on my homebrew HTPC using an AzureWave satellite card and DVBViewer. [/QUOTE]
