[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1289314, member: 141969"] I have a TBS 6284 PCIE card, which is an older quad-tuner DVB-T/T2 card. The tuners are significantly more sensitive than my Pinnacle 2000i DVB-T dual tuner card (and hence less likely to exhibit pixelation), but noticeably less sensitive than the tuner in my Sony TV. The Pinnacle card has been "rock solid" -- no problems at all. But the TBS cards issued around the time of the 6284 use a Philips chip that has problems on some motherboards (or something like that -- I forget the details). In particular, the card may not work in all PCIE slots, or it may disappear from Windows on wake from sleep or wake from hibernation. This is the problem that I have with my 6284 (it works in only one PCIE slot). It is really difficult to be certain about anything. I searched the MP threads and found these references to the 6281se: [URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/problem-in-uk-com-7-8-freeview.138780/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cannot-find-tv-dvb-t2-channels-tbs-6281se.138062/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/scanning-dvb-t2-channels-in-multi-plp-mode.131053/post-1243749[/URL] I have never used satellite, but you can use the MP search facility to search the threads for the satellite cards that you are considering. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
