dvblink would be better, but check it works on x64

Would anyone care to say witch of the dvbviewer->vplug->dvbsbridge pro; or dvbdeam->vplug->dvblink software combos is better? Bering mind I am running a x64 based system.

Thanks!

When I was setting it up, i tried dvbdream first and it was pretty unstable, progdvd 4 didnt run in win7. Dvbviewer works like a charm though for me.

Just tried it, I assumed it would work with the FireDTV Viewer (which is based on DVBViewer), but it doesn't.

I'll have to wait a bit for the TT card to arrive.

So I'll be continuing to reaserch as much as possible untill it arrives

I'll let you know how I get on with the set up.

Any other tips you might have will be greatly appricated?

@Cafe - not sure what you mean terratec and technotrend are different suppliers? Or am I missing something?

@penno - I had a setup with vista x64 (+Tv Pack) & tt budget 1501c. I was using dvbsbridge pro with dvbdream (1.4i) and have to say it didn't really do it for me. Often had problems with the dvbsbridge service crashing, dvbdream not responding, etc. I have a feeling that it was more down to the fact the I was on x64 and the software just didn't really behave very well on there. On that basis I'd suggest going for the dvblink trial to see how you fare with that first - but I haven't got any first hand experience of what it's like on x64 as I moved to win7. Good luck

Cafe.Rcaer I checked out the Twinhan Cab-CI on Hisat and then looked at Twinhan's products site which appeares to state that it is only compateble with XP?

I have the twinhan working with vista, not using vmc though, using mediaportal, but it works fine with vista.
Only thing against it is the tuner sensitivity, it receives at about half the signal of my tt1500, but then again it was half the price.

problem is it's only pci.... and my pc is pci-e only

otherwise would have just bought one to....

I have never seen a board that doesnt have at least 1 pci slot, even my quad crossfire board has 2 as well as the 4 pciex ones.
Are you sure it doesnt have 1.
