    Compro s350

    I have a S350 too, It's not a S2 card so wont ever be able to tune S2 channels, BBC HD and ITV HD are not S2 and I'm happy with them for now. My setup works with my new white Sky card and I am able to view Sky1, Bravo etc using DVB Dream software with NDSCam and a cardreader. Overall I am very...

    Company comment about the removal of Scuzz from Freesat

It just seems very odd that if...

    DVD v HD

    Different compression on time-shifted channels?

    Well not really, all a timeshift channel does is show the content from an hour ago etc. They don't have to have the same bitrate or resolution, in fact to get the +1 logo onto the screen they have to go though another encoder just to overlay that. In a recent live episode of Big Brither's...

    Can not find Sky HD channels

    I assumed this was DVB-S2 as it said it supported HD channels. I guess I'll have to put this project on hold until I eventually get some spare money. Thank you for your replies, both of you.

    Can not find Sky HD channels

    I'm sorry, I forgot to mention, this is a DVB-S2 card I believe, I can view BBC HD, ITV HD and Luxe HD with no problems.
