TechnoTrend released its first tv-card, the S2-3200, for the broadcasting-standard DVB-S2, that is able to receive for example Sat.1HD, Pro7HD and other channels. This motivated HDTVTotal.com to check and review it, whether this tv-card-solution can keep up with KNC1's TV-Station DVB-S2 Plus. If the card is already worth to buy you can read here.

Everyone who waited for his problem child HDTV for a long time, because he wanted to be future-proofed and did not want to buy the first best tv-card, can breathe a sigh of relief now, because with the TV-Station DVB-S2 Plus the time of waiting is finally over. KNC1 launched the first functioning DVB-S2 TV-card and accomplished bridging between SDTV via DVB-S and HDTV via DVB-S2, which just accomplished some few manufacturers with their set-top boxes licenced for the German pay-TV channel "Premiere".
KNC ONE kindly provided us with an early version of their card, which we will present to you in here. And even in this circumstances we may expect big results.
