ps1 Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi! I do realize that it is possibly mostly due to hardware, not sofware problems, but could you explain... Why is it so, that while we have in many places in Europe good possibilities to receive both DVB-S and DVB-T feeds and both techniques are very similar (mpeg and so on), you still cannot get a single card for both receptions. For me it is somewhat difficult to understand. Many chips in our PC:s are very universal ones, why not these? Why attempting to have both - sattelite and terrestrial - channels on 1 PC we still have to apply 2 very similar(!) cards? Quote Link to comment
Klausing Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 The first one needs an other tuner which have to bring a electric signal to the LNB. The second one dont need such a tuner. So if you build a card with 2 different tuners you can use it. Quote Link to comment
kaiser.wilhelm2 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 It is a little bit more complicated. You can build one device with one chipset and two tuner, but you can use one tuner only or you put two cards (two tuner, two chipsets, etc.) on one PCB and have two independent devices in one. (the expensive way) The tuner (and some other components) are the main difference between the SkyStar 2, AirStar 2 and the CableStar 2 cards from TechniSat... Quote Link to comment
