[QUOTE="AgentSmith, post: 21092"] First of all it is [b]DVB[/b]. DVB-T is a standard for Terrestrial DVB, compared to DVB-S for Satellite broedcasting. There also exists DVB-C for digital cable tv. The Dutch Digitenne service uses DVB-T. However, it is not free-to-air (except Nederland 2). This means that you need a special Digitenne settop box with a decoder for your tv (or HTPC). This decoder accepts some kind of chipcard, also used with many satellite services. Now here comes the problem. You need a special DVB-T pci-card that accepts that same chipcard. There is a [url=http://www.degroeneknop.nl/forum/index.php/topic,606.0.html]topic[/url] on a Dutch MCE forum about a test with a Twinhan dvb-t-card. This doesn't work in Windows Media Center, but in Windows itself it works flawlessly with great picture quality. I do not know if this will work in MediaPortal, but I sincerely hope so, since I would love to switch to digital tv myself :). Of course, to record 2 programs simultaneously you will need 2 dvb-t-cards. Therefor also 2 chipcards are required and you better check the monthly fee for that first! *edit* READ THIS: [url]http://www.smhbv.nl/kabel/merken/twinhan/index.html[/url] (Dutch) [/QUOTE]
