Hi i have geForce 7300 PCIE Graphics Card.

But the problem may be also caused by not so strong signal here, my set top box (technisat) shows signal strenght almost full, but quality differs from 20-60 (of i asume 80 points - i dont see any logic in this grade:-))

So Hauppauge 500 is better, it costs around 100Euro, is it worth of price?
I asume that TV Server will handle the dual tunner so ill be able to record and in the same time whatch different channels.

Be careful what you are looking at T500 is Dual DVB-T, PVR500 is dual analogue and more expensive.

Whats the cost of the pinnacle compared.

Hi, Pinacle was around 45Euro. I've done just brief search through the internet on Hauppauge maybe i can get it on other place cheaper.

Generally the pinnacle is more expensive here, than the hauppauge, may just be a supply and demand thing.

GLOBALDON KEY AND DALESKI.
Why not get another DTV1000T (or a DTV1000S). I use one of each with MediaPortal and they work perfectly with HD and SD. Not only that, they are both about a cheap as they come. If only I had a spare PC slot --- I'd get a third! They are slow though. To avoid loss of signal, make sure you daisy-chain the antenna connections rather than use splitters.
