What however is a good choice for analogue is the HVR2200 as it can do MPEG2 HW encoding and has an S-Video input for Sky. My point is the HVR3000 should be a good complement to a HVR2200 as it gives you the ability to record another DVB-T mux while using one of the HVR2200 analogue tuners. This allows for simultaneous recording TV1, TV2, TV3, C4 and Prime; something I personally do a lot of. And by having an HVR rather than just a DVB-T tuner you can get any satellite-only channels (Freeview or otherwise) and use the Satellite EIT data for an easy, reliable guide. Not having a satellite dish this isn't my personal setup but plently of others on this and other forums use these cards and by consensus they generally seem good.</blockquote>
