Thinking of getting one, so i did a google search, found a site selling them. Problem is the pic on the sellers site and the pic on the main site look different, are there different version available. Also the prices seem to vary quite a lot, anything from £20-40 difference what would you call a good price?

The is a SSHD and a SSHD2. I am not sure of the differences but I imagine the HD2 puts right a few problems.

Thanks for the reply, so i should check out the SSHD2, dont suppose you know the average price of 1 as i keep finding prices that are up and down all over the place.

i've got the sshd2 pretty good running on vista with dvbviewer (£14 for the pro legit version - worth it!)
try googling vesalia i bought mine there

I'd already placed my order from there m8, it came today. Apart from Dvbviewer is that all i need, im just hooking it up to sky dish at the mo to get it up and running.

milli260876 · 10-01-09, 09:55 AM

are you only going 2 use it on freesat? if so the oem
software will do... try coreavc for mpeg4/h264/dvb-s2

SpudGun · 10-01-09, 01:23 PM

For now its just for freeview yes, gonna get a new dish once im up and running.

milli260876 · 10-01-09, 04:45 PM

when you've got a motorised up and running i would go for the pro version of dvbviewer and get vplug installed...

Jimdefruit · 10-01-09, 05:49 PM

Before buying software, I would strongly recommend trying DVBDream.

milli260876 · 10-01-09, 06:26 PM

dvbdream won't work with my sshd2... i think i have had it running once, h264 was a no go and it crashed constantly...
