[linux-dvb] Re: DVB driver for B2C2 based budget cards (such as Technisat SkyStar 2)

["dwe" <dwe@firemail.de>]

TechnoTrend Budget is 2.5 times more expensive than B2C2 card? Sorry, that's
humbug!

The TechniSat SkyStar2 (B2C2-card) costs 59,- EUR. The TechnoTrend Budget
card (e.g. the Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S) costs 99,- EUR.
That's a factor of only 1.68...

How much Euros/USD does the SkyMedia 200D cost? Must be 89,- EUR I think, if
it's 1.5 times the price of B2C2.

Look below. I have posted all the data off the chips.
This is NOT SAA7146 (the chip in TechnoTrend).

3rd one.

> For how much does the card sell (compared to B2C2 based cards)?

The 200D version is about 1.5 times the price of B2C2.

The "D" means "data only". They have also 200 and 300 models. These
have hardware MPEG decoders and are thus much more expensive

Stil cheaper then SAA7146 cards:
The SAA7146 "budget" cards cost 2.5 times of B2C2.
The "full" SAA7146 with hardware MPEG cost about 6.0 times B2C2.
