[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 819861, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome oldgit9 :) The Hauppauge HVR-4400 does *not* support Freeview HD, so if Freeview HD is a requirement then don't buy that card. On the other hand, it does support Freesat HD and basic Freeview... I guess it would help to know more detail about your requirements. For example: - do you want/need to receive both Freeview HD and Freesat HD? - how many channels [from each platform] do you want to be able to view or record simultaneously? Keep in mind that unlike WMC, MediaPortal allows you to view/record all of the channels available from a given frequency with one tuner. WMC requires one tuner per channel. Also, there are quite a few dual DVB-S2 PCIe tuners available (see my comment -->[URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/hardware-help-needed-103267/#post818237"]here[/URL]<--), however there are not so many DVB-T2 tuners (let alone dual DVB-T2 tuners) available.
