I am looking for an good and cheap DVB-S USB2.0 Card, whichs works fine with ProgDVB? For Example the "Technisat SkyStar USB Plus"? Is this Card working with ProgDVB? If not, which Card would you recommend?

Also i am asking me, how much CPU Power ProgDVB needs? Is an Athlon XP with 1500 MHz fast enougt?

Many thanks, c.
