eBay speical DVB-T USB dongle, are they any good? I know it isn't going to work with the supplied areial I was hoping to use the 12ft areial attached to my roof with it.

The real question is will it work with mediaportal?

It's not on the supported TV cards list, but of course can be added.

To do this read this,

http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Add_TVCard_to_natively_supported_list

But remember the best cards are the ones with rock solid drivers supplied with them.

So what is the best digital twin tuner freeview card for the cash for use with mediaportal? PCI or USB?

 

[bertybassett55]

would two of these work together ok? WinTV-NOVA-T

What do you think? IS any thing else better suited to the job?

better still I'm getting this card.

Hauppauge Nova-T 500 only £75 on froggle

Hauppage are good, Nova T 500 not on supported list, but can be added, so do not be put off.
Not a bad price neither, does it come with remote.

I've already got a mce150 remote sio no need for that. Hum I'm a little put off by the card not being 100% with creating the monkier as that seems a little complex. Any other recommendations?

Lifeview DVB-T. my previous card, which worked flawlessly with MP, mine was the duo but never used the analogue side much. but the updated drivers allowed me to use powerscheduler to turn on/off pc for recording purposes and was reliable.
Again a Nova T is also a good choice, try and get OEM as cheaper.
Have not got my Dvico dual working with powerscheduler yet so at the moment not promoting that, as could be a driver issue, anyone reading this and does have a dual recording ok with powerscheduler, send a message to let me know.

thanks

You only have to do it, and worse comes to worse someone can do it for you (remotely). Hauppauge have very good driver/support so I would put that little bit of extra effort in to get one.

ok you've pushed me to get a nova-t 500. I'll let you know how it goes once it arrives.
