Can anyone here recommend a dual DVB-T tuner PCI card that works well with Windows 7 x64. Is anyone using the Hauppauge Nova 500 T successfully with Windows 7 x64. My old card is no longer supported.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

To help me out of a pickle with the wife (I should have monitored disk space a little better!)... does anyone happen to have a copy of the final episode of "Mutual Friends" from TV one about 3 weeks back? Pls PM me if so. Thanks

The Nova 500 T works perfectly under Win 7, at least for me.
add me too - no problems with upgrade to Win 7 x64

Can anyone tell me where TV logos need to be kept? Recently had to fresh reinstall MP and have made an MP/thumbs/tv/logos path but they haven't been picked up.

    For the Nova 500 T users, do you split the coax cable and plug into both inputs on the card, or just use the top input? If using both inputs, is there any configuration needed?

    Mmm, I was under the impression that the NOVA T only had one input. Are you talking about the NOVA TD?

    If so, then you only need to connect to the bottom input and both tuners will receive signal. See here...

    Only downside I have with the Nova 500 T is it takes a long time to reinitialise when resuming from sleep due to it being recognised as a USB device. Yes i know its a PCI card) but it has a USB to pci convertor on the card so when Windows resumes from sleep it reinitialises the USB devices which means it needs about a 15 second delay in the TV Service to allow for this.
    Otherwise, really good FreeView DVB-T dual tuner.
