The one issue I had was that my Pcie slot is too close to my graphics card so I purchased an adapter to move this card to standard pci slot to enable proper cooling. Review: DVBSky S952 - Decent card. Works perfect in Windows Media Center in Windows 7 it just works it's a far better card than the Video Mate S360 which I bought and couldn't get it to work like this S952. Even get HD Channels the good thing is that the card takes the load when watching channels not the CPU. Some cards uses the CPU to encode the video but the encoding side is on the card. Using this card in a Dell Dimension 530 which I turned into a Media Center machine. Recommend downloading the latest drivers from DVBSky website. I'm defiantly going to order another one of these cards for the HP Elite 8000 in the living room. The DVBSky S952 requires a 6 pin power if your power supply doesn't have one then you can use the 6 pin to sata cable which the card comes with. If your power supply doesn't have a SATA power cable spare then I highly recommend you replace your power supply to something decent. Core 2 Duo handles HD channels perfectly fine. Wouldn't recommend anything older such as Pentium 4 or HD channels won't play. All Transponders and frequencies in Media Center work you may need to add some frequencies depending on what part is the world your in. Using Astra Transponder in the UK and Northern Ireland. Your satellite dish requires dual LNB. If you only have a single LNB on your dish then you will need to replace it to either a Dual or quad LNB. You can use a single LNB but you will only get playback side on tuner 1. Tuner 2 is for recording when watching one channel and recording another. If you decided to use only playback side on tuner 1 then you will only be able to watch one channel and record one channel. I will be ordering another. I highly recommend this card. The HD channel list I get BBC ONE HD BBC TWO HD ITV HD Channel 4 HD Channel 5 HD The dell machine specs. Dell Dimension 530 Core 2 Duo E8400 4GB DDR2 667 ATI Radeon 5450 1024MB 64GB Sandisk Solid State 1TB Seagate Hard drives. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FAPDVDS | | Analog Video Format | PAL | | Antenna | Television | | AntennaDescription | Television | | Box Contents | AV Adapter, TF Card Reader | | Brand | DVB | | Brand Name | DVB | | Compatible Devices | Television | | Compatible devices | Television | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | | Manufacturer Part Number | S952 | | Model Number | S952 | | Tuner Type | DVB-S2 | | Tuner technology | DVB-S2 | ## Images ![Dvbsky S952 V3 PCIe card (low profile) with 2x DVB-S2 tuner (Dual Twin Tuner), CD with windows software - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Qkp2mRCsL.jpg) ![Dvbsky S952 V3 PCIe card (low profile) with 2x DVB-S2 tuner (Dual Twin Tuner), CD with windows software - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41AirRyw6PL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is anyone able to confirm if this works with the new plex dvr as a frontend?** A: As long as the OS supports the device there isn't a reason that it won't. I have one of these running on windows 10 (should be good from 7 on) and even on a windows server OS base it ought to work, I understand that Linux has had core support for these cards built in for a while now. It should work fine. You do need a reasonable PSU as it uses a 4 pin connector. You can get a converter for an HDD molex, I'd probably not have any HDD's on that supply line though. It also runs warm so you might need to check if you have a passive cooled base system that you don't need a fan to cool it.The box I have this in is a small form and the only fan is on the PSU and it's just enough. **Q: Dose any one know, what the position with catch up/ on demand, if need be with an internet connection is?** A: It depends on the software you use, some do allow this, although you can also record programmes with most good software.You can buy DVBViewer at http://www.dvbviewer.com/en/index.php?page=ordering or read about it at http://www.dvbviewer.com/en/index.phpIt will automatically find your card and you can tune it to the satellites you choose - probably Astra 32 degrees if you live in the UK, although it will pick up from one or two others.You can then watch your recordings on DVB Viewer or with Media Player Classic which comes with K-Lite Codec Pack (Get the Mega) which you can get at MajorGeeks. (Go to www,codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_mega.htm go to Download, click 'Show More' and choose Major Geeks) K-Lite Codecs Pack with the Media Player Classic is free. DVBViewer costs 20 Euros.It's an excellent piece of equipment and DVBViewer I swear by ! **Q: Hi, If I have only one signal source (cable from my satellite), how many channels can I view/record at the same time.** A: It depends on the used transponder. Some TV applications allow to record a complete transponder (and so all channels on this transponder). This is a dual tuner card. So you can record 2 complete transponders ... and this means 10-30 channels at the same time. **Q: hi is the newer V3 version of this card with the M88R6000 chipset available** A: Hi There the version is 3 but i am not sure on the chipset i am afraid.

I thought I'd try this seeing as it's nearly half the price of another 6981 but this was a mistake. One of the tuners just randomly decides whether it's going to work or not, making scheduled recordings a complete lottery. I'll be returning this as soon as the new 6982 arrives to replace it. For reference, this is on Windows 10 x64 with the Nov 2015 driver. Same issue in both DVBViewer and DVBLink so I'm pinning this on lame hardware or drivers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/50007314-dvbsky-s952-v3-pcie-card-low-profile-with-2x-dvb](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/50007314-dvbsky-s952-v3-pcie-card-low-profile-with-2x-dvb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
