[linux-dvb] Re: Choosing the "best" DVB-S premium card

[Michal Dobrzynski <michal@appl.com.au>]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd need for this to be an output for VDR 
though otherwise it's not actually usable in practice. I'd also need to 
find the right mode to get 720x576 rather than the 720x480 that I 
currently get on the G550 connected to the Loewe VGA.

I'm certain from memory that I found significant judder with at LEAST 
one of the three possible scrolling directions (horizontal, vertical, 
diagonal) when trying to view PAL video on a 60hz display.

Regards,
Michal Dobrzynski

P.S. It would be good if someone actually addressed the issue of which 
DVB-S premium card would be the best choice :P My DXR3 has been giving 
me more trouble today and required that I reboot the HTPC twice. Even 
Windows wasn't giving me this much trouble last time I tried it :/ 
Seems like the more I use the DXR3 for output the worse it's stability.
