Hardware ok, Software disappointing.

Technisat SkyStar 2 DVB-S PC TV card incl. Remote Control (Electronics)

Customer Review

Pro: - problem-free installation of the card
- Low system requirements (runs smoothly with 1.4GHz Sempron)

Cons: - greater Probeleme for driver installation
- Bad software
- Little-compatible remote control

The card can be installed and connected without problems, even with relatively little previous knowledge.
Then there is unfortunately complicated driver installation proved quite difficult, only after several attempts the system recognized (Win 2000) the card, but a network problem was and I can not access the Internet via DSL to date.
Very disappointing is supplied with TV software, which remains both in the handling as well as in the functional scope of my expectations.
After installation, I had after some trial and error finally TV reception, but initially could not find the channel list as described in the meager instructions for calling the sender.
Only after a long search in various Internet forums I found a tip on how this is to be opened.
Since this list is very extensive, the location of some stations is very difficult, the search function is not very convincing.
The software has, unfortunately, only limited functionality, such as the recorder function is possible only when the computer, the full version is not free.
The remote control does not use, as this is as good as not self-explanatory, the control means of wireless keyboard and mouse funtioniert better.
Conclusion:
Actually, a good TV card, only the software but spoiled a very pleasure.
