I've had a Twinhan card for almost a year now with no major problems=2E
Remember that you can't use these alongside other bt8x8 chipset analogue
cards as apparently there's a conflict=2E Those cards used to be a bit
cheaper on Pricespy (mine was $100 I think) but I guess the e-tailers
stopped importing them=2E Perhaps skystar cards have a higher signal gain =
-
meaning a smaller dish or less rain fade=2E This may not be an issue now t=
hat
I believe Optus D1 has a stronger transmission than B1=2E

That all said, my current flat hasn't got a dish so I haven't used it in 6=

months=2E I'm dead keen to get it up and running this week though=2E

If you end up buying a Twinhan, I'll help you out with the config if you
need it=2E It's fairly straightforward=2E

Cheers,

Sam=2E

I have decided it's time to buy a DVB-S card=2E

$20 less than a SkyStar 2 (an importer is selling them for $145 on Trade
Me)=2E  Anyone got a good experience=3F  Should I consider one of these
cards, or just buy the Skystar=3F
