I have the top two working in tandem in mediaportal recording two channels at once or recording one and watching the other.

Don't know about support for videomate but I know their is definetly support for two differnt dvicos at once (issues arise currently with two of the same card)

Where are you approx in Oz? go to staticice.com.au for info on IT prices specific to your state

I have the Dvico DVB-T and its working fine.

I have setup mine and a mates PCs with the Dvico DVB-T. On a fresh XP and MP install it worked first time :) Can't get much better than that!

My only tip would be to sus out importing the TV channels via the XML grabber first before autotune so you match XML TV guide imports with scanned channels . The Wiki might tell you that but I haven't spotted it yet ;-) Theres a lot of posts with tips which are worth looking for.

Got my card for $199 from Office works on a price match from the green guide so its worth looking around.

Cheers,

    I have a compro. Excellent reception and excellent quality. It beats my Aver by a long way.
    Best of all, my card was only $130 and it worked first go with MP. Nothing to configure at all.

    Plus, it has Analog and Digital tuners, although you can't use them both at once.

    MP developers were put on the right track by myself and some other aussies and were able to get AC3 PID accepted within graphedit. they know what needs to be done it just has to be coded into Mediaportal which takes time

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........

    In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...
