[QUOTE="resa, post: 1165208, member: 68500"] I cannot say much about the DVBSky card you asked for, but if money isn't the main reason to consider about here... i would recommend to go with Digital Devices Cine-Series cards due to it's rock-solid reliability and flexibility. Unfortunately you have to get an DVB-C(2)+T(2) or DVB-S2 card for PCI-E first and then add an Cine Flex upgrade (which is attached to the PCI-E card you installed first, so there is no need for further slots on your system) with missed sort of tuners.
