Dual Freesat HD card (1 Viewer)

[Sillycrap101]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a freesat tuner to my PC. I've had mediaportal for years watching movies and tv shows. I've got a humax foxsat HDR for freesat which is just cack!

I want to have dual recording ability (watch one, record another) of freesat including BBC HD and ITV HD.

I've read the forums and see that the blackgold 6in1 is supposed to work well.

There seems to be noone selling them. Is there a site selling them or if not is there an alternative? My PC is low profile so it needs to be half height really.

Many Thanks

Think they have gone bust, as the website has dissppeared and as you say, there is no stock in the retailers.

The only other dual sat card I know of is the pinnacle 7010ix, but thats not low profile.

I guess if I bought the Nova-HD I could only watch and record the same channel?

There site is still available at BlackGold - BlackGold offers a range of software components for licence and turnkey products are available for immediate manufacture. We specialise in providing OEM design and consultancy solutions, including turnkey DVB-T, DVB-S, Freeview, Freesat a. The only problem I can see with the card is that it doesn't support DVB-S2 so when/if the broadcasters change the transponders over to DVB-S2 you won't be able to receive it.

From what I've read though that maybe years away. Just looking for a good PC solution to dual record HD stuff.

I hate this stupid unresponsive narrow IR banded foxsat HDR soooo much...
