What HD DVB Cards work on BEV?

[HyPhY666323]

Good afternoon gentlemen,
I'm planning to buy a DVB card by today specifically for HD. I understand Bev is still running mpeg2 HD, and I was wondering if it would be a cheaper route then getting a skywalker-1.
How many HD channels does Bev offer? Dik?
How "future proof" is mpeg2?
Do you guys see Bev making the transition to mpeg4 anytime soon?
I hope someone can help me, and if there are alternatives to the skywalker-1 for Bev...would that card work with a DP Plus LNB? I know the skywalker will with particular software.

MANY THANKS, HOPE I CAN GET HELP!!

c/p from viewsat spokesman, Cyphris:

"BEV Card Swap on the Way !!!
Yes it's true, As was anticipated in 2008 that the providers will be looking at doing a card swap the first signs are here... on BEV ch.263 they have added the SWAP channel for instructions to subs on how to go about the swap. The new card they are going with is the S06. They have also released 2 new HD receivers the 6141 and 9242 which are 8psk ready. They have already tried sending out new FIRMWARE to some of their subs IRDs yesterday which in turn caused many subs IRDs to reboot constantly. Many new changes to come and will have to see how things transpire. There is still long life in FTA and VS is on top of it all."

Wow....THANK YOU for this. Now I'm looking forward to this card-swap. Once they swap and cracked, I'll feel more relieved that my investment will last a while. Thanks again!
