PCI Satellite decoder & CAMs etc

[geakem]

Hi all,

I want to get into the satellite scene and have a decent media centre pc that's begging for a pci satellite decoder and a CAM slot. So...anyone have any experience with this route (as opposed to a dedicated TM box etc)?

Basically, which decoder should I buy?

I have a DVB-S2 card for the PC and it works well, the model I have is the technotrend s2-3200 there are a few programs you can use with it like, DVBVeiwer Pro and DVB dream.

There is a softcam out there called Vplug which is very good, if your interested in C/S then it can be a bit hit and miss, but you can get a good card for less than £100 so with the cost of the HD boxes right now is a good option.
