I'm pretty sure we're alsmot the 1st ones in France having this setup. We have this for about 3 months now I think.Now Alexandre writes that we already has the system up and running?
It's pretty expensive. We're a company. I'm not a home user. I think the linkstar is around 1000€. But the internet bandwith is hight speed (high ping of course), and is pretty much the same compared to a xDSL line. Only the hardware is expensive. But that's just echo I heard. I wasn't in charge of ordering/paying this. I'm just a user of this technology.Can anyone enlighten me and the rest of the list? @Alexandre: I think a link to what you purchased (equipment and / or service) would be very interesting for the rest of us.
I think we'll have to wait and see what astra proposes for home users.

This includes : - 1 super antenna (with 200kg of blocks to hold it down) - 1 super LNB (for sending) - 1 normal LNB (for receive) - 1 linkstar box (with : LNB in / LNB out / Ethernet) So the 2 LNBs are connected to cables (of course), and goes into my linkstar. Then my linkstar is connected to the network switch. And I setup my computers on the network with the linkstar's IP address as the gateway. That's it. No need to have any DVB card. That's just like standard xDSL. Regards,
