Hi Darrin.

Great to hear you are up and running. I do have a couple of questions.

1. Where did you get the Tevil card through and  is it PCI or PCIe?
2. Are you able to pick up and DVB-S2 signals, in particular the Channel 9
transponder on Optus D1?
3. Was it reasonably painless to setup in the end, or a bit of a chore?

Cheers

Steve
