[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 5947, member: 175057"] OK, I'm not up on all of the cards and what type of positioning facilities they have, it would help to know what satellites you are looking to receive and whether you are going for free to air only plus data, or are prepared to pay extra for a Common Interface card to carry a CAM for decrypting. There are four major cards available, the Pentavision which has facility for an add on CI and offers DiseqC 1 LNB switching, you can use this for switching between different dishes or multiple Lnbs on one dish. The Hauppauge which also has a CI option and I believe offers DiseqC 1, is highly thought of. The Telemann does not come highly recommended by data only users, but not sure what it's like for Video. There are also the Technisat, Technotrend (same as the Hauppauge) and the Harmonic. There are probably others as well but these are the common ones. If you only want to watch satellite and not use it for data, I would strongly recommend getting a stand alone DVB receiver as they perform far better generally. Rolf [/QUOTE]
