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

    Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    I think 1.38 is easier, it's a minor addition, judging by the lack of bugs, 1.39 is still a long way off. Ideally, the TuningParameters settings would be moved to MPE1, along with all the skins. Then any minor fixes could be updated quickly.

    Thank you very much for the tip. The Germany-Full doesn't have all the channels either. But I've now found out that I can read the frequencies using DVB-Viewer, which also receives all the channels I can receive. I'll use that to create my own channel file. Let's see if that works.
