[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 828539, member: 82144"] Hi again No problem - its what we're here for. :) Okay, so a DVB-T2 tuner then? They're still relatively new so there aren't too many available and they're a little pricey. There are more PCIe options than USB. Anyhow, here's a shortlist of the ones I know about (note: I think these are all single tuner models): [URL="http://www.mygica.com/pa/t200.asp"]MyGica T200[/URL] [URL="http://www.pctvsystems.com/Products/ProductsEuropeAsia/Digitalproducts/PCTVnanoStickT2/tabid/248/language/en-GB/Default.aspx"]PCTV Systems nanoStick T2[/URL] [URL="http://www.anysee.com/eng/product/anyseeE7T2C.php"]Anysee E7 T2C[/URL] (There are many many dual DVB-T [not T2 => not fully compatible with Freeview HD] tuners out there for very reasonable prices.) Any of those should work - they all have BDA drivers, which is the main requirement for tuners to be compatible with MP. If you could take a PCIe model then [URL="http://shop.blackgold.tv/epages/BT3159.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3159/Categories/%22Retail%20Products%22/PCIe_Tuner_Products"]Blackgold[/URL] and [URL="http://www.buydvb.net/dvbt2-tv-tuner-pcie_c12"]TBS[/URL] have some good options... the Blackgold models might be especially attractive if you think you might add satellite at some point. As mentioned above: almost any tuner with a BDA (Broadcast Driver Architecture - Microsft standard) driver will work fine. There aren't too many tuners with non-BDA drivers around, especially for DVB-T or T2, so you can't go too far wrong. The basic rules of tuner support in MP are -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/11_Preparing_Your_System/01_Supported_TV_Cards"]here[/URL]<--, top of the page. Yep. :) Absolutely fine. 1080i is more taxing than 24 fps 1080p Blu ray content because of the higher frame rate and deinterlacing. 1080i tends to be used for HD broadcast TV so if you want HD TV then that is where you need to set your benchmark. Correct. mm [/QUOTE]
