Any dual tuners that support HD Sat?

bob808 · 2008-06-14, 20:54

Are there any dual tuner sat cards out there that support HD sat? I am wanting to build a system that will let me get the HD BBC and ITV channels, along with the other freesat SD channels.

Would prefer a dual tuner card than 2 hauppauge dvb-s2 cards if possible.

Thanks

Do not know of any dual DVB-S2 cards atm, Blackgold 6in1 said it was, and then changed its mind !!

Thanks - I was all set to get the blackgold until I noticed that too! Looks like it's 2 of the Hauppauge dvb-s2's then unless anyone suggests a better card (performance or value)

Thanks

Well there has been a reference design out there for a couple of years now:

Video Imaging DesignLine | Micronas launches dual-tuner DVB-S2 PCI Express reference design for Media PCs and home theaters
and
Micronas Dual DVB-S2 PCI-E x1 Tuner - AVForums

Just a shame we haven't seen anything yet.

That is so old, would of thought it would have come to market by now, if it ever was going to happen.
