Default New Pinnacle PCI DVB-T Dual Tuner Card

Hello All,

Just seen an article about this new dual dvb-t tuner. It looks pretty good!

Does anyone know anything about it?

I think there was already a post about this.
I would love their dual DVB-S tuner but a friend of mine that has owned several Pinacle cards says they were all crap so I'm going to wait and see what happens.

If the dual sat would have ci interface build in or optional than it would make a great product.

Don't know how the situation is in the UK, but in the Netherlands you get only one dbb-t channel free to air.
So although the spec looks nice it useless here.

Yes Wortelsoft

Forget how lucky we are as currently have 38 out of 55 channels running in MP (some scrambled or just do not want)
Thought about getting a sat card but have enough trouble trawling through channels already got without adding hundreds.
And beside what a job reinstalling MP from scratch and having to retune.
You never know might be tempted one day.
Never say never.
