[QUOTE="yant, post: 408333, member: 187061"] Hi, I am looking to possibly changing my Hauppauge HVR3000 for a Skystar2 for satellite reception in order to get better sensitivity and maybe correct some reception problems I have (see my other thread). I am trying to get Hotbird with an old sky dish but I suspect either the dish is too small or the card is not good enough at tuning weak signals. I'm in Northern Ireland so probably quite at the edge of the beam. From what I gathered on the web (inlcuding here), the revision 2.3 had a more sensitive tuner but ran much hotter than revision 2.6 does. Running hot is bad for me as I am running a fanless HTPC so I am leaning towards the revision 2.6 but if my reception problem is du to sensitivity issue, then maybe 2.3 would be better. Anyone knows more details about how good/bad the tuners are and hot/cool the version are. Thanks Yan [/QUOTE]
