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.  :-)
