<div>Milos - people are assuming you are in the US - I'm guessing you are the Czech republic given your email address. It might help if you say what HD signal you want to capture. Here in the UK - to capture the BBC HD transmission you 'just' need a DVB-S card - and it tunes the same as any regular channel (decoding and playing back the captured
H.264 file in realtime is another story all together). I believe much of the rest of Europe (and Sky HD) use DVB-S2. The SkystarHD is a S2 card which is what I'm assuming you are referring to. If you have a Linux driver for it - it's plug and play with Myth. If not - don't know what to do. When I looked at DVB-S2 a few months ago, Linux support was still pretty scarce. I'd take a look at
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.linuxtv.org/" target="_blank">http://www.linuxtv.org/</a> to determine the status of Linux support.</div></div></blockquote>

<div>Looks like you SkystarHD is a rebranded Technotrend TT-S2-3200 (which is a good thing).</div>

<div>Looks like an experimental driver is available : <a href="http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/">http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/</a></div>

<div>On your CPU/GPU needs - find out what codec is being used (H.264 etc) to determine what's needed. I'd say certainly more beefy than what you have now.</div><br> </div>
