@ Smartbuddy..

well its only for FTA channels and doesnt work like dreambox.

I saw it in sofitel for abt 200-250Qrs.

all i need is NileSat on my pc i.e MBC2/Action etc..

So i need to know if it really works fine or worth it..

Waiting for some1 to come-up with actual answer other than 'Google It' !!

Thx

I am currently using the Skystar II PCI device... according to my friends who are using the External USB version of the device, they say that its too slow, and some satellite programs does not function properly on it.

but if you are looking to use the a satellite system on a PC, then I would advice you to use the PCI version. but if you only have a laptop. then you have no other choice
