    TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S Satellite PCI Card - What's in The Box?


    (Page 2 of 5 )

     The package was really aesthetic and classy. It was exactly what one would expect from a real German "original" product.

    Now that you've glanced over the package I'm sure you're quite curious about its contents. Let's check it out.



    Great! So here's what the package contains: Satellite PCI Card, remote control, installation guide, software CD, 2x AAA Lifecell batteries and an infrared sensor. Those two AAA batteries are for the remote control, while the infrared sensor goes into the serial port of your computer (e.g., COM1, COM2). The software CD contains a wide range of utilities and applications. It also contains drivers. I'll give you a quick list of software available on the CD; I'll describe them in more detail later on.

    Here's the list:

    • TechniSat DVB-PC TV Star
    • DVBViewer
    • Sonic Cineplayer DVD Pack
    • Filiago-DSL
    • myVOD
    • OpenSky
    • Sat@Once
    • Sat_Speed Easy
    • SDK
    • SkyDSL
    • T-DSL via Satellite
    • TSReader MPEG-2 Transport Stream Analysis and Recording.

    Plus we can't forget about the user manuals in four languages (English, German, French and Czech). A copy of Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c and Media Player 9 are also included on the CD.
