</div>I bought a Hauppauge bog standard DVB-S card (no S2) from ebuyer. It arrived<br>
and worked. DVB-S is pretty disappointing compared to DVB-T though. There's<br>
no BBC red button stuff on freesat, as there's not enough bandwidth as it's<br>
full of crap shopping channels. Signal to noise is a lot lower in terms of<br>
content. Unfortunately I don't have Freeview reception in Northampton, but my<br>
Nova T cards are in a bag ready for the switchover, presumably just in time<br>
for T2 to obsolete them.<br>

We have excellent SD and HD reception here...London area. Sounds like the problems you describe are local to your setup/installation.<br>
