Default Where to buy broadcom hd card - 05-06-2010, 01:17 PM

I looked on ebay and there are only a few for around $100

Are there any other places I can buy one?

Thanks

Strange, when did these get so expensive? They used to go for like $20 shipped on eBay.

Logic Supply sells them for $50, although they currently seem to be out of stock w/availability expected by the 15th.

I bought a 32gb for £95 and that was the cheapest price I could find without resorting to taking a chance with China. The website is HERE

If you do buy from them, scan Google for a voucher I saved an extra 5% not fortunes but it helps

Can we actually use these in our Mini 9's? If so does it make 1080p video watchable? How would you install it?

In the Mini 9, you could replace the WiFi card with one of these, and yes it works. That's the only place it will function in the 9.

Default HD decoder & wifi - 07-26-2010, 11:13 PM

Hello All

OK to fit the decoder the wifi card is removed, is it then OK to simply use a USB wifi unit instead?
