    It's £35 which seems cheap for a dual DVB-T card, so i'm tempted! If its not definately compatible ill go for a Nova-T 500! (assuming I have PCI/PCIe slots left!!)

    Well I took a risk and ordered it - if its no good i'll sell it on. I paid £35, and I usually see if for £70 - so maybe I can make a profit ;)

    Its MCE compatible, and hopefully it wont conflict with my 2 existing Hauppage Cards. Now I just need an aerial splitter and a small cable.

    I installed the card - worked fine! Both tuners show up, no problems whatsoever! If anyone in the UK wants a cheap dual tuner - go grab one from Scan!

    Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work). But on the drivers download page, there was an additional item called "TBS6281se V2 Change Mode Tool". There was zero documentation to accompany this. I downloaded it and ran it. It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...

    Thank you very much for the tip. The Germany-Full doesn't have all the channels either. But I've now found out that I can read the frequencies using DVB-Viewer, which also receives all the channels I can receive. I'll use that to create my own channel file. Let's see if that works.
