My old Hauppauge Nexus S card is 10 years old and incompatible with Windows 7 64 bit, so I need a new card. My previous experience with the Skystar 1 was that there were lots of incompatibilities.

So this time I thought that I had better ask before buying.

Question: what is considered to be a reasonably well-performing satellite card for a modern fast machine (Pentium Inteol Core i5 2500k 3.30 GHz/Integrated Intel Graphics/Asus P8Z68-V LE motherboard/8GB PC3-10666 DDR3 memory/1000GB HDD/1080p widescreen monitor)?

I read that a Technisat HD2 card is ok, but there must be more out there. (Apart from a few USB sticks, the only PCI card listed on the Win 7 64 bit compatibility website is KWorld VS-DVB-S 100)

Must be compatible with Window 7 64-bit and ProgDVB. And hopefully not too expensive (seems that £50-65 is probably the max). I haven't got DiSEqC, just a multi-LNB dish at present manually switched at the house end between 3 satellites.

Any ideas gratefully received! Would be helpful too to know which version of ProgDVB works with any particular card recommendation.

Near all devices are good for x64. Problem only with technotrend. Look tevii for example.

Thanks Prog.

Always a difficult choice. I decided to go for a dual tuner and S2 so increased my budget, looked at the Tevii S480 but as the TBS 6981 seemed to have better user reviews I've chosen that. But I'll use ProgDVB because that is better software
