Windows MCE + Skystar2 BDA+UDR FUNZIONA!!
Un paio di giorni or sono visitando un forum di uno dei tanti fallimentari plugin per intergrare la Skystar2 con il fontend di MCE leggo di UDR (Universal DVB-S PlugIn)
installo i drivers BDA beta technisat e UDR...e, nonostante la skystar 2 non sia elencata fra le compatibili, come per magia appare la voce del menu "televisione" e tutto funziona a meraviglia.
l'unico problema e un blocco che avviene quando si spegne il comp, tutto sommato un peccato veniale. per il resto il funzionamento è stabile e veloce , almeno nel cambio canale, non tanto nella scansione del satellite..
pare che in italia di sto soft UDR (Universal DVB-S PlugIn) non se ne sappia niente, qualcuno ha esperienza??
