Which programming (birds/channels/etc) were you looking to get?
There are several kinds (formats) out there.
Also, had you considered which software you wanted to use??
It's a matter of using the right tool for the job.

Like, maybe here?
I've used a Twinhan 102g, which is supposed to be very similar, if not the same, as other Twinhan DVB-S models. I think when I initially did research on it it was described as a "1020 without the overheating issues." As previously stated, the codec and pc make all the difference in decoding HD. On my last rig (Athlon64 2GHz 3000+ / 1GB DDR RAM) I could receive HD, but at about 2-3 fps. I used a codec that came with some DVD software I had installed (sorry, I forget which but someone will pipe up). Now that I have a brand new setup (AMD64 X2 2.6GHz 5200+ / 2GB DDR2 RAM) I'm eager to get another one of these cards and try again!
The only problem I had was I never got USALS to work, but I'm going to blame that on the motor. Because it certainly couldn't be OE (Operator Error). Oh no.

My TH 1020A & MyTheatre work OK with a motor . You may be experiencing a software problem . But I am using Diseqc 1.2 , not USALS .

The 4:2:0 HD feeds work great on DVBDream with USALS support too w/ NVidia Purevideo codec on my AMD X2 4200.
For the fat 35mbps 4:2:2 HD I use TSReader and VLC. TSReader also has USALS support too.
Any idea if this card will work under Windows Vista? Does anyone know if this passes Microsoft's Windows Vista: Upgrade Advisor?
nVidia PureVideo Codec
For more info , check out the free-codecs site, or directly on the nVidia site.
OK , I have d/l & installed the free trial . How do I get to the point where I have a graph that MyTheatre will recognise / use ?
Thanks,

Sort of along the same lines- I've done a lot of Google-ing and can't find an answer for this. What (other than appearance and original release date) is the difference between the Twinhan cards? 1020a, 1025, 102g, 1027... they all appear to have identical specs and perform the same functions. Does anyone know if there's any advantage having one over the other? All I've found out is the older cards are generally slightly cheaper. Looks like I'm going to pay $70 or more with shipping if I want anything newer than a 1020a, and even $60+ for one of those. I've owned a 102g and was pretty happy with that... is there an advantage to getting the 1027?
Just to confuse things more, Digiwave has a "103g" card for about $65 shipped. Better, worse, apples and oranges...? Trying to be smart and do my homework before dropping money, but I can't find any data! Really hating the 'hackable market,' I remember when I bought my 102g for $35 during 'down time.'
Oh, and as a side note I don't think system speed is going to be an issue no matter what card I get (say, for 4:2:2 feeds). Every two to three years I build myself a pretty top-of-the-line new pc, so as of a few weeks ago I have:
AMD64 X2 (Dual Core) AM2 5200+ @ 2.81GHz
PCIe 16X Radeon X1900 256MB Videocard
Over 1 Terrabyte of hd space (SATA)
2GB of DDR2 800 RAM

You can also get the Purevideo codec if you buy Theatertek. That's how I got mine. I think when I bought it, the cost was basically the same as the codec by itself. I haven't used MT directly for a while, I use it through SageTV, but I think Nvidia showed up in the list of picks automatically once it was installed.

The VP-1020A works with DSS modulation schemes too

I must be confused, I didn't think anything DSS was FTA, even audio (like Dish's unencrypted music channels)... :shocked
