[QUOTE="Mew, post: 172197, member: 29012"] Hi Trevor I have a pair of WinTV HVR-4000s (as well as a WinTV PVR-500) in my HTPC running on Vista x86 with TVE 3 (they previously all ran fine in XP Pro SP2). I am only currently using DVB-S (for UK Free to Air Satellite). The cards pick up all the FTA channels fine from Astra 2 28.2E including BBC HD (which is currently DVB-S but may change to DVB-S2 in future) and Eurobird 1 28.5E using a minidish and dual LNB. In a couple of months I am hoping to move house (if it all goes through OK) and I should also be able to get Freeview there so I will be able to use the DVB-T side of the cards. Hauppauge market the HVR-4000 as quad mode rather than quad tuner. I believe there may only be 2 tuners, the DVB-S/S2 one and the DVB-T/analogue one.
