Hello,
in Jaunary I asked your suggestions for hardware capable of doing DVB-S2
and HDTV to replace an old setup. Based on your helpful responses I
decided to use:
Ascrock M3AUCC
AthlonII X3 455
Nvidia GT240
2x SkyStar HD2 (2.6.38.4 mantis works good, but no RC)
I worked on my VDR 1.6 setup fo

I've avoided the noise problem by putting the VDR under the stairs
where it can make as much noise as it likes. There it plugs in to a
X-VGA splitter/broadcaster which sends duplicate signals over CAT-5
to each TV, where another small STB converts the signal back in to
VGA. I've also put Infrare

Indeed they do. I'm particular about noise as I use htpc's with my
televisions. I don't want to watch something and have to listen to a
fan. If I can barely hear a fan with the tv off, that is acceptable
but it must be very low noise.

I've bought many graphics cards over the years and every time one came
with a fan it's been noisy and I've replaced it with an afterm
grr, nvidia and their stupid naming system. 430 looks more like a 5xx
card but with the discontinued number line. 4xx was being replaced by
refined 5xx. This is the first non-crippled chip released with a 4xx
number. So once again, like with the 8400's we can't be sure what die
it's based on.
I wouldn't buy any 4xx cards. All have dead weight on chip and are
basicly power hungry/wasting beta versions. Look for 5xx

Hello,
I'd like to replace my VDR with Duron 1200, Skystar2 and GeForce4.
I'm not particulary interested in HDTV but I'd like to prepare the new
VDR for the future, even though I'm on a budget.
I'd buy Skystar2-HD with a GeForce that supports VDPAU. Would you be so
kind to tell me if the SS2-H
