I looked in to buying this card or the Pinnacle dual DVB card, in the end I went for the pinnacle due to it being cheaper

I wanted the DVICO fusion HDTV card, but it was too hard to come by in the UK. I would be interested in knowing whether the pinnacle or the nova 500 is the better card for MP. I've heard that the hauppauge has some problems with the power scheduler...

    Just google it, i did.

    May not be on first page for this country, but like most thing, look hard enough and you will find.

    as i have found with freeview boxes i have installed, there are good tuners and bad, apparently philips, samsung, LG chipsets/tuners seem to be good.

    Have a look here to see if anything

    looks like the Nova-T 500 uses the Via chipset
    someone mentioned that

    is a hybrid unit it may look like a PCi device but it isn't its PCI usb card with TV tuners on it from the info I got about it on the hauppage forums

    not sure if this is true though

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...

    It took a while but loading the three updates and waiting, (I wandered off doing other things), while the Win 7 searched for updates eventually brought about 170 available updates. I picked the latest, largest and Cumulative ones and everything burst into action enough to re-install MediaPortal 1.33 which is running very well. I let...

    MP1 MP2 Case Downsizing DE
    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
