[QUOTE="Inglor, post: 165023, member: 204749"] Hello all, I'm very new to all this, i'm interested in getting a PCI satellite card. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which is the best one to get. I've been told that I need a card that can have its software updated (don't know if thats correct or not). Can anyone point point me in the right direction. I've read in a previous post that the Technotrend Premium S2300 WM-Edition 200, and the skystar2 are good cards. I don't know exactly what softcams are, I have an idea but if someone could someone please define what they are. Will the above 2 cards run softcams? I already have a motorized dish, which I set up myself. I also have a receiver set up in the living room. I'm receiving quite a few channels. I now want to set it up on my PC. Is a PC with a card better than a dreambox? Can it do everything a dreambox can do? My PC is 3.2GHz 64Bit AMD Athlon. 1 gig of ddr400 ram, 256 Meg ATI X800 with HD-TV out (Component) Hardware decode of MPEG2 would suit me best. Would like a card thats capable of HD-TV or progresive scan at least). My Tv 36" JVC CRT widescreen with component in. Thanks P.S Sorry for all the questions. I just don't want to spend money on the wrong card or buy a dreambox if I don't have to. [/QUOTE]
