[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 760966, member: 82144"] Hi rocklander Woot! :) Hauppauge seem to be slowly phasing out the Nova series - PCI is on the way out and PCIe is all the rage. I take it you're not able to handle PCIe on your mobo (or at least you have no free slots). Remember that MP allows you to view/record multiple channels from the same mux. That means you'd be able to record to watch/record all the channels currently available on Freeview on any connected client with 3 DVB-T tuners. A dual tuner would mean you wouldn't be able to view/record TV One/TV 2 + TV 3/Four + Prime at the same time. You probably know all that... My personal opinion is that DVB-T tuner choice is much less critical than DVB-S, however I've never looked at or tried the tuners on TM. Under the "some other option you might not have considered category" - why don't you keep a Nova S and grab one of the cheapie USBs and see if it works.
