[QUOTE="Old Geezer, post: 77363, member: 181961"] Hi JayX, Welcome to the best Sat site on the net (and the most helpful members) in My humble opinion . Checkout [url="http://www.dvbsoft.net"]www.dvbsoft.net[/url] for an interesting breakdown on the sat cards.There's a lot of information to take in (I know , I'm still learning) (Cheers Stick,Rolf & Prof). The SS1 is a hardware version of the SS2 , and an add-on CI slot was available which connected via a ribbon cable (but didn't take up a PCI slot as it only mounted on the back panel of the PC) if I remember correctly (same as the twinhan version). As You say there are other cards than the SS2 , but the limiting factor is generally ££££'s .With cards such as the Nexus and Twinhan CI versions costing £100+ , and the SS2 being £40-50 that's quite a saving. I'm using a Sky2PC card (poor mans SS2) on a 900 Duron system (and MT 2.76) and simply record to the HDD and burn to DVD , and I'm pleased with the results (much better than the S*y dodgybox that I moved around before to scan the heavens). As for HDTV , I believe there have been a few posts on this site that the SS2 supports it , but can't say for sure as I would know HDTV it it bit Me !!! If You decide on a card , it's well worth searching the site for posts that cover the Sat cards You shortlist , and also check out the manufacturers support which can be poor (if not even non-existant) in some cases. Welcome to the BIG wide world of Sats (Boy , it's BIG). Cheers for now, Old Geezer. [/QUOTE]
