[QUOTE="PHansen, post: 245172, member: 57434"] Okay, so with the official dawn of DVB-T approaching, now is the time to bring up a few queries i have and hopefully one of you will be able to help. I am thinking about importing one or two of the BlackGold 6 in 1 cards (Or just the Hauppauge[sp?] Nova-T ones) in the not too distant future to use in the HTPC but i need to know a few things. 1. Will the aerial cable and plug i have now from the UHF aerial plug straight into the cards DVB-T socket and away i go? Or will i need to find a new male socket end for my cable? Where is a good place to start looking for these? 2. What is the best way to split the cable so that it can be used in both cards? I tried a cheap and cheerful option from DickSmiths years ago and it degraded the signal quality so significantly that i didn't like it at all so went and bought a dual tuner card to compensate. 3. Assume i have already split the DVB-T cable into each of the cards. To use the analogue tuners would i need to split them both again and have them running into the Analogue input at the same time as the DVB-T tuners?
