I've never seen a SkyStar 2 in anywhere like PC World... And, chances are, nobody working there will know what the words "4:2:2", "DVB-S", "satellite" and "computer" mean.

i know so just going to have to order one from somewhere

jim, its on sky sports

its on the list to buy and then when you really wish i had one

oh well just do with out

is it only the skystar 2 that does 4:2:2 or can any pc sat card do it ?

I believe most of them can. I know the Twinhan cards can.

Technisat have Vista beta drivers out, but I can't get them to work properly with the programs I want to use.

I expect that they will get this sorted at some point, because they appear to still be working on the software side for the SS2.
