Which SAT>IP Server should I get?

Post by elsmandino »

Hello,

I am looking to get myself a SAT>IP tuner and have come across these three:

http://www.triax.com/products/satellite ... -ip-server

https://www.megasat.tv/en/produkte/mega ... erver-3-2/

https://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/ce/ ... P-Umsetzer

Which do you think I should go for?

Reviews and comparisons of them are a bit thin on the ground.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Looks like you will have to be the guinea pig and let us know how you get on ;)

It's good to see they are coming down in price they was very expensive when they first came out. Not sure how many clients actually support SAT>IP properly though.

Personally I went with a couple of VBoxs since they gave me a couple to try out 8-) one for DVB-T2 and one for DVB-S2. We do fully support them in MythTV and they work well.

It is a shame that VBox don't do a 4 DVB-S2 tuner version as I would have considered one of them.

Based upon what I have read, I think I might go for the Digibit R1 - seems to have the most positive reviews (though I have heard that it uses a bit more power than the others).

I shall let you know how it goes.

Thanks.
