I'm keen to get a GBPVR setup up & running, but I'm slightly put off by the many threads detailing problems getting DVB-S cards working.
I have an unused dish I want to utilise but I'd really like a nice stable configuration thats not a pain to setup. Which card offers the easiest/smoothest entry to the world of GBPVR?
Ideally I'd like to be able to look at the HD channels as well, I can playback downloaded high def content on the PC currently so I think its up to the job.
Would something like a Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-S be the simplest way to get setup?
I was looking at Compro VideoMate S350 but people seem to have to do a lot of manual hacking to get the channels etc setup.
Don't want to spend a fortune initially, if I get hooked and find I'm getting a lot of usage from the rig I'll be happy to buy a fancier card later.
Many thanks for any thoughts.
ps Should be PCI interface
