GTA Black Gold DVB-T PCI-e X1 Dual tuner

Dansta · 2007-02-14, 20:55

Hi All.

I've been doing more research on Dual DVB-T tuners and found the above PCI-e dual tuner. Anybody used this card or have any opinions about it? I guess it should be OK with MP as it has BDA drivers and its PCI single sibling is on the MP H/W list. I like the idea of using a PCI-e card as I'm using a mATX Foxconn 945G7MD and I've got my 2 PCI slots bagged.

An AV forum suggests that the picture quality and reception is better than the Terratec 2400i - ineresting, however there appears to be a resume from S3 issue "in a small number of cases" according to GTA's support site. Hmmmmm.

Also it fits both low and full height profile cases which the 2400i does not and I would prefer to use the low profile case I have compared with the full height alternative.

Cheers, Dansta.

I've owned this card since christmas and I've had no issues with the quality or failing to resume due to the card.

However a major drawback is that i can't get mediaportal to recognise it as 2 tuners. I have tried following the instructions for adding a tuner to the list of supported tuners in mediaportal but it won't work. I think it's something to do with the way the tuners are being recognised doesn't fit the scheme used for differentiating tuners in mediaportal. Because of this i think the MP system would have to be rewritten in order to be able to use this card fully.
