Default Skystar HD2/DVBViewer/vPlug/Vista 64-bit?

Thinking of switching to a 64-bit OS, but need to know if vPlug will work!!

just in case anyone else gives a rats arse, i felt the fear and did it anyway!
Works fine... i am getting really tempted to try the disecq/usals capabilities now as i also got the latest drivers working, just scared i'll blow the power supply!!
No need for the tm3100 under the telly if i can get the sshd2 to run my motor - then i can get a 50" tv !!

Vplug works on Server 2008 x64 as well. Very similar to Vista SP1 x64 but needs a few files to make dvb work.

got the pc to run the motor, a bit touch and go really. put it back to the tm3100.... cams aren't much good at the mo, next to no hacks. You'd be better off with a usb card reader (think infinity??) and going c/s...

you are asking the wrong person about elvis programmers mate... i would say u need no card at present. 1w still open key changes are more regular and auto updATE is off but dvbviewer and vplug with the relevant keys will get u some nice films.footy and pron.......

Thanks Milli.... Having problems finding relevant files you mentioned... tried google and it sends me round in circles or to out of date stuff... i would be most appreciated if you could PM me a link to them... currently working away down South.... but should be home in a couple of weeks to put dish up.... should i motorise it from comp or buy seperate positioner control... is it worth it at the moment if only 1w open??
