I have tried both a Twinhan (I think it was a 1022, but I am not sure) and a Nova-S on Astra. The Twinhan could only receive a few of the transponders (mainly english speaking), while the Nova-S receives all the german speaking transponders.<br>
So I am sure that Twinhan requires a quite strong signal. However I am located in Denmark, so the signal in Germany is probably stronger.<br>Note that none of the cards I have used have a CI.<br>Today I am running with a Nova-S on 0.20 and my parents have two Nova-S on 0.19, all pointing to Astra.<br>

In general if the card works well with Linux it will with MythTV. For me the Twinhan 1030A DVB-S (with CI) worked well on my 0.20.2 setup. With the change to 0.21 I swtiched to a softcam setup (sasc-ng) so now I don't use the CI anymore. When I did use the CI I found that the Aston Cam worked better than the original CanalDigitaal mediaguard Cam. But that's Dutch TV, so that may not be of interest to your setup.<br>

HI!<br>
<br>
I need a recommendation for a DVB-S card in Europe/Germany for watching<br>
Astra, please.<br>
<br>
I have looked in the (always outdated AFAIK) Linux DVB Wiki for a card,<br>
that is well supported and has an optional CI module that works under<br>
Linux for the future. I am using Kernel <a href="http://2.6.24." target="_blank">2.6.24.</a><br>
<br>
I've come up with these 2 cards:<br>
<br>
- KNC One TV-Station DVB-S<br>
- TechnoTrend TT-budget S-1500<br>
<br>
Now my question is, do they work reliable with MythTV 0.21? Does<br>
scanning work OK? Maybe even someone using the CI?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Thomas<br>
