[QUOTE="rocklander, post: 760962, member: 103900"] hey again all.. apologies if it's been dealt with already, but this is a loooong thread and even searching for 'USB' and 'tardme' there's still a LOT of results.. so.. here's the deal.. terrestrial has come to vegas at last.. I have a mediaportal with twin PCI hauppauge nova-S cards which will need to be replaced. I'm really wanting a pair of Nova-T PCI cards but nobody seems to have them available (and most seem to be saying they're not gonna be available for a long time). my MP is a server that my other house clients connect to so I want to be able to handle 4 channels (that's record 2 channels, and 2 connections [master tv and another house tv]). so... my options as I understand are: [LIST] [*]find a pair of nova-t 500 cards from some other supplier. [*]find a pair of different PCI cards that can handle dual tuners. [*]find 4 USB tuners and whack them into the MP. [*]some other option I've not conisdered [/LIST] so.. has anyone used any of the cheapie USB tuners that are all over tardme? do they work with MP and if so are they any good, or should I steer clear? does anyone know a local supplier that has the nova-t500 card at a reasonable price?(in fact 2 of them). what say you sage people?
