Technisat SkyStar 2 PCI DVB card

Opinion No. 1

By SNIFFY from London [

]

Pros:	Pros: Price, picture quality
Cons:	Cons: PC only
Points: Perform : 9 Features: 9 Value/dosh: 10 Overall: 9 pts	Helped set one up for a friend who is computer literate but not formally into satellite. With the right software you can 'view' a lot of stuff the packaging doesn't tell you about - i.e. great if your into a bit of pay-TV. Several sites are now providing 'how to' guides although not always in English. Picture quality and sound are both excellent. You can edit channel listings, store feeds, sort favourites, and record at the fraction of the cost of a full receiver with built in harddrive. Downside (minor grumble) is that theirs no version for Apple Mac computers and no USB version on the general market.
	SNIFFY paid (approx.) €90 for the receiver
