Update
Well, I finally did get a TBS 6902 card in the middle of last week and (certainly not "helped" by the totally crap current version of ProgDVB Pro s/w I'm using - bought it some yrs ago, and so I thought I'd try what I already had before getting anything else!), I've finally got it running "half-decently" - but am now very under-impressed by this card because the sensitivity is much, much. poorer than the SX88 which locks weaker channels on 52E that the 6902 can't even get any SQ at all on.
OK, I do know that "you get what you pay for" (and I paid around a hundred quid for this one), and also that if I had paid two hundred quid plus then I would probably have got something considerably better overall.
Therefore, I'm thinking of sending this one back with the 14 day "period of grace", and getting "something better" - so is there anything "better" between £100 & £200??
PS:
As above, I have ProDVB Pro (as well as DVBViewer) on the PC in question but I intend to try Crazyscan if and when I get a sat card that can "deliver" - but I'm in the very early stages of exploring this sort of stuff and so I think that the latter is probably a "bridge too far" for me (especially as some LINUX solutions are currently also a "bridge too far" for me ATM - AND considerable very serious "brother-in-law" issues continue to "intrude" on a daily basis, and those won't go away any time soon ).
Thus, does anyone have suggestions for suitable "user friendly" PC WIN 10-compatible s/w for the same type of use???
Thx in advance.
