Default S*Y HD card and which cam in a Floppy DTV

Hello

Really enjoy reading this forum but still catching up on the history...there is a hell of a lot of info in here to wade thru phew......

I am new to the satellite game being into cable for many years but have finally given in to the lack of HD and adventure in cable. So I signed up for SKY HD its coming next week. I currently use Media Portal TV server with DVB-C cards and 4 clients PC's as TV's . I will be needing a DVB-S2 card to integrate S*Y into the channel list and cannot be 100% sure what Cam to go for.

I understand the Dragon/Trex with predator will work fine as cam with the S*Y HD card but as my next step will be adding a motorized dish I would prefer to go with a Diablo Cam to give me more available choices.

Now I read somewhere on this forum (and cannot find it now dated 2007 I think) that the Diablo was not happy with S*Y HD channels is that true. Also about the channel changing speed being 10secs to decrypt on the SD channels is this also the case.

I would really like to hear from someone who has seen S*Y HD thru a Diablo Cam and knows what the channel change time is.

Lastly where can I find out what Sats are available to someone living in Belfast with say a 1.2m dish.

Many thanks and if anyone wants some detail on Media Portal I am using RC3 and its pretty damm good now, stable and nice skins. It has really come along way and with 2 weeks EPG available for most channels I think from reading posts would appeal to some users here.

Thanks
