    Default Twin tuner Satellite PVR recommendations

    I need a box that will record two channels
    Share one Smart card(Iredeto) to record two channels
    Must have USB 2 or better connectability to PC to transfer files.

    Some details

    I have currently subscribed to Vision Asia for some Indian channels

    Its digital and encrypted
    from Optus B3 Sat now D2
    This is from their site

    Vision Asia delivers its services to subscribers via Optus B3 satellite on the Globecast Platform, using "Direct-To-Home" (DTH) technology. Subscriber service reception requires a small solid satellite dish, normally 85 cm diameter in most areas of Australia and New Zealand, together with a Digital Decoder and a Smartcard for service activation. The channels offered in the Vision Asia bouquet are digital and encrypted. The foot print of the service is available throughout Australia and New Zealand and can be made available through monthly subscription.

    Info found on net

    frequency: 12.658 V00000
    language: Hindi
    crypt: Irdeto
    mode: MPEG 2 (4:2:0)
    type: TV-DIG-CRYPT
    SR: 30000
    FEC: 2/3
    TID: 0
    NID: 0
    SID: 7
    V PID: 1760
    A PID: 1720
    PCR 4DTV: 1760



    thanks guys

    They only have a single tuner. An option maybe a 7020 and a 500 and cs between them?

    I assume you are still taking about dreambox. Can someone mention where I should look to buy one in (1st choice)Australia, or anywhere else

    Basicly dont care which box it is as long as does recording of two channels and provides connection to the PC(high speed)

    thanks

    Default Thanks guys

    Well I decided on the Mediastar PVR820. Well dont have the cash this month to buy it and thought I will buy it next month.
    Anyway I call Visionasia since I am having some video issues with the current STB. They send me another which has the same problem. I call them up again when this tech person advises that they are testing a new box with recording facility. I asked what the model of the new box is? She asked me to call after two days. Anyway called numerous times and then today finally got to the same person who told me the box they are testing is guess what?
    Mediastar PVR820. I am very happy now since I dont have to spend the money. Also this box records 4 channels fromt he same transponder which is even better

    Got one of these for a customer. Looks pretty good so far for a complete package straight out of the box.

    As you wrote Mrsash.
    On the 820 you can ONLY record and watch stuff that is on the same transponder at one time, this is not so good if you want to watch something that is on one transponder and record something from another as it will not happen, bit annoying sometimes.
    Overall a very good box though.
    What happens if I press alt + F4?
