Twin Tuner DVB-S Card

Iceman89610 · 2008-07-20, 20:41

As the title suggests, I am looking for information on the above. I currently have a home built HTPC running MCE 2005, linked up to a Sky box. I am looking to get rid of the Sky box in the near future and use my dish to receive Freesat. I would like the possibility to watch one channel whilst recording another (such as Sky+) but one want 1 DVB-S2 card in my system.

Is this possible.

Thanks in advance.

The Pinnacle 7010i has been used with MP successfully, but you could be a first to see if this will

would that pinnacle card be good for BBC HD and ITV HD? if not what card would be good for HD? Doesn't have to be dual channel.
