[QUOTE="satesco, post: 1038378, member: 297935"] It should be known that each card has a chip/demod for a precise function,some know how to do better or worse than others. These demodulators are of different generations, the last ones have integrated functions that the oldest do not know,but all offer the same basic functions,that is,to find and watch the TV and radio channels that an ordinary consumer desires. And from this point of view,so far,most of the tbs cards from TBS that have been launched on the market have two major demodulators manufacturers which have endowed their devices,namely STM and Silab. From my point of view,the first company offers demodulators more performant in terms of an enthusiast,and probably more expensive,and the latter offers,at an affordable price, a demod capable of providing last-minute capabilities,I refer to the S2X extension, which for the time being is very little used by program providers.But STM also has such demodulators,and it is now up to manufacturers to be able to use such receivers/dvb-s cards in their production. But we need to add an essential thing when talking about these devices,no matter what demodulator and brand are used for them, namely the major role that application developers have.Ultimately they are the ones who value the possibilities which these demodulators have.Only with their help we were able to use our cards to a level that we did not know that is possible.And the best known and rightly is [USER=391236]@CrazyCat[/USER] with his applications,and from his mantle,other developers have risen. I will not discuss this topic now,which has a polemic potential, but I wanted to emphasize something that we need to keep in mind when we want to buy a dvb-s card.In short no card/devices is a waste of money if you know what you want from it.And as with any electronic product we need to know before what the demodulator is used and who produces it.And do not forget another equally important thing ,that all these devices have the performance of the years in which they were produced.That is true for,say,TBS6925, TBS5925, Omicom, Prof8000,SkyStar2 HD etc [/QUOTE]
