Are you able to figure out what frequency the TV is using to get SBS and then check whether that frequency is being scanned?You might get better reception from a different tuner, however it is pretty much luck of the draw. Comparing sensitivity of tuners can really only be done with professional equipment as the strength and quality readings that you'll see in DVB software including MP is technically meaningless. I mean, what does 80% signal strength actually mean? Probably about all that you can say is it is 80% of perfect *for that tuner*. To be able to draw any meaningful information from it for comparing between tuners you need to know about the actual signal characteristics (dBuV, BER etc.). Unfortunately the tuner manufacturers don't usually define any sort of % <--> dBuV/BER conversion...With MP you can watch/record any number of channels on the same transponder/mux with only one tuner. For example, if SBS 1, SBS 2 and SBS HD were on the same mux (as they probably are given they're from the same provider and you can't receive any of them) then you'd be able to watch and/or record all of them at the same time (subject to HDD speed and capacity constraints <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />). ABC, 9, GEM, GO!, Ten etc. might be on different muxes though, so you'd *possibly* (depending on your local transmitter channel arrangements) need an additional tuner if you wanted to watch SBS HD and record Ten at the same time.That isn't really a fair question for the reasons I described above (comparing sensitivity of tuners). Further, it will probably need to be an Aussie that answers this as tuner availability and pricing varies from region to region. You might be better served by asking that question on an Australian local forum.PS: keep in mind that dual tuners often require better signal quality/strength than single tuners. You have to split the signal somewhere, even if it is done on the card. Further, sometimes too many tuners in close proximity don't play nicely...</blockquote>
