Hi I have Skystar1 with TV out. I upgraded to windows Vista Home Premium. Six times out of ten I would get the BSOD when trying to run prog DVB and the PC would reboot. From what I have read on the net the same things happen to a lot of other Vista users with a Skystar card. I have recently reformatted my PC and installed Windows again. This time I want to make sure I install skystar1 drivers that will work with Vista Home Premium.

Reading around the net there seems to be conflicting views about which version of driver works with Vista and stops the BSOD.

Does anyone have the definitive answer on which drivers to use and could you please tell me where I can download them.

Thanks.

Frustratingly, the only two PC products from Technisat that have official Vista support are the SkyStar USB plus and the Skystar HD.

The Skystar 2 had RC2 beta drivers, which are problematic at best.

You can see the list for yourself here:
