Hi Dan,
we have tested two alternatives: one is a decoder on a PC Card and the
other one is a commercial set top box.
The PC Card that we tested is Technotrend S2-3200 (around €60,00) and
you can also use a very powerful software TUTIONNE (free) developed by
Jean Pierre F6DZP. There is also a cheaper version, which F6DZP tested,
which is Technotrend S2-1600. Check that your PC can host a standard PCI
card.
The set top box that we tested is Megasat 400 (around €40/50) but most
of commercial set top boxes are specified to work from 1 to 45 MSym/s.
Remember that HAMTV can transmit a 1.3 MSym/s or a 2.0 MSym/s stream.

I would research the matter carefully before buying any equipment, does anyone
in the ISS HamTV group have any data on which DVB-S receivers will work? This
is pretty much beyond what the gear was designed for!

2 mhz? Yeah, that would be tough... Ok, DVB-S it is.
Thanks all for the education. There's a swap meet coming up in a couple
of weeks... Sounds like I have a now have a mission. :-)
