[QUOTE="Paul9, post: 1121540, member: 150969"] Sorry about it being so long, but felt I ought to check out each of the links you sent me, so I fed back the result,and you asked me to mention models I had researched. Last June I spent a lot of time researching models without much success. As you are about to go away for 6 days, I will just briefly reply to your "[I]Ummm, look at the user manual tab on the product page?[/I] [IMG]https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/beTojWF7oh9N_TnDMT0Iq6t4pJaWyeRehlUsp2hcZ6uxOaumzKSmgCLWOLUuWjS3DDsX7M4zNUydBPrxPHcVqHkOoe-K5jOGvaGQwxUGu6eNpWssv8frzA=s0-d-e1-ft#https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/styles/default/xenforo/clear.png[/IMG]". That was not an oversight on my part; I did indeed dl the document, which unzipped into '[I]Home free TV.CHM[/I]'. It is a 3 line description of an ancillary app to extend [by wifi I assume, the 3 lines don't say] a TV stream to a smartphone or tablet, NOT what I would a User Manual to the H868. In fact, I seem to recall the same document is linked from their H869. When I said newer chipsets will support newer formats like MKV/MP4, sorry, it was badly worded in bit of a hurry: what I should have said, are newer products, as having experienced over the last 8 years the more efficient formats had gradually become more popular - as in web-hosted films, my thinking was that will be reflected in the newer tuners; but as I have not thrown money at another tuner since almost immediatley writing off the purchase of the Terratec - bought just a month before departing UK based on Terratec's assurance it is compatible with the then Brazilian PAL TV standard, I was only guessing Tuner software now supported those recording formats. As you are familiar with the market, whereas I am not, thank you for enlightening me on that. Likewise, my last comment was made after reading through to the ultimate response to your last link re. the Argentinian user. Re. your comment "[I]Sometimes you just have to take a risk[/I]."; after being bitten once by Terratec incorrect sales advice in Germany, I am trying to avoid a repeat write-off. Sadly, as pointed out, I cannot find any recent reviews of newish ISDB-T tuners. Thank you for your quick very helpful response and confirmation the AverMedia uses a BDA driver; that is enough for me to take it further and inquire directly to Avermedia & Hauppage [/QUOTE]
