    Im planning on setting up my system to get euro 1080, they used to be on 19.2 but have moved to the new Astra 1D at 23.5E, it seems their new receivers will have Mpeg4 in them, at the moment HD5 does be FTA at times but i want to get a system in for the winter olympics.

    Anyone have any experiences with them?

    Yes.
    But only with MPEG2 which needs about 2GHz PC. MPEG4 as used on HDTV satellite needs 3.5MHz PC approx. Which is why some new PC PCI Sat cards are coming out with new DSP chips as used in the set boxes that do HD MPEG4, just like the Skystar1 / Premium cards do SD MPEG2.
