[QUOTE="huve, post: 957423, member: 389517"] If dvb-t/t2 is enough and dvb-c is not needed and you don't want to other windows programs than totalmedia geniatech is fine. But if you want to watch tv in windows with other programs than totalmedia or cable tv then astrometa. Watching tv with crazyscan and vlc is clumsy, first you make the spectrum, the you find the right tranponder and tune it, stop it making then constellation and press the button to stream it to vlc and in vlc you choose the channel. Astrometa drivers are also clumsy in windows if you want to change from cable to terrestial, you have uninstall cable drivers, boot the pc, then install terrestial drivers. I played with crazyscan for couple of days and now the stick is in the drawer. The terrestial and cable transmissions are static, no feeds like in satellites. There are other sticks with almost same chips as geniatech and they might have better windows bda drivers than geniatech, but cost two three times what geniatech does. I don't have any of them, but some board member might have one and could tell if they work better with other dvb viewer programs in windows and/or linux. If one wants to use crazyscan with them you could ask if crazycat would make drivers for that stick. Such sticks are dvbsky t330 and different brand opticombos like vu+ or edision opticombo and the last four in this page after geniatech t230 in the table in the bottom of the page [URL="http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Geniatech"]Geniatech - LinuxTVWiki[/URL].
