Skystar hdtv pc card
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?

Re: Skystar hdtv pc card
The is a SSHD and a SSHD2. I am not sure of the differences but I imagine the HD2 puts right a few problems.

Re: Skystar hdtv pc card
Before buying software, I would strongly recommend trying DVBDream.
