Default FloppyDTV Cards

Greetings,

After reading this forum a lot, I finally managed to get 4 FloppyDTV DVB-C Cards into a Vista Ultimate box, however, I was looking at expanding my channel list, and installing a few satelite cards.

So my (should be) relatively easy question to you guys are:
The FloppyDTV DVB-C cards show as DVB-T in VMC, do the DVB-S versions of the card have the same problem, since I would like to continue using the same system for it, or should I try using a different card to do this stuff?

According to Digital Everywhere's website the DVB-S is natively supported in Vista's TV Pck _http://www.digital-everywhere.com/en/alcms/index.php?sid=1220202904

If you're using the TV Pack in your install then you'll be able to mix DVB-C (acting as DVB-T) and DVB-S cards. If you're non-TV Pack then you won't.

Thanks for your quick responce, thats just the information I wanted to hear.

Yes I am currently already using the TV Pack, granted it would be nice for the DVB-C cards to be shown as DVB-C, but I can live without the terrestrial backup for a little while (as im still assuming they are working on fixing the problem)

Thanks again for your responce. I will get some money together and let you all know my outcome
