Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

The best hardware depends on what you want to do and on your budget. If you want the card simply for DVB-IP, then a Skystar 2 would be fine. If you have a reasonably powerful PC, it will also work for sat TV channels etc. Plenty of freeware available too. A Technotrend/Hauppauge/SS1 is more expensive but has onboard MPEG2 processing, so requires a less powerful CPU, and has Video out. There are various other such as Twinhan, Pinnacle etc which are also equally capable. Just ensure that the sat ISP you intend using supports the specific card.
