[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 109894, member: 13176"] Go totally PCI, What i mean by that is most Single cards are PCI and actually use the pci bus standards to transfer data, and there drivers are fine and cause no standby\resume issues. Dual cards on the other Hand come in a few flavours, mainly USB based PCI cards, which use the USB standards to transfer Data, which seems to be where and when conflicts with the drivers come in, as the USB system is slow to start up. I know the Pinnacle is not a Dual usb tuner mounted on a PCI card and also the Cinergy 2400i. The new Dvico dual fusion 4 card is unknown to me as to which platform it relies on PCI or USB bus. Have gone through 3 Dual cards, Lifeview Duo Digital\Analogue PCI worked ok. DvicoHDTV Dual original (Half PCI, Half USB) Will not work on standby\Hibernate S3\S4 modes with MediaPortal\powerscheduler. Hauppauge T500 Dual usb tuners mounted on a PCI card and again will not work with MP\powerscheduler in S3\S4 mode. Of course as with every problem, there is a workaround, use STSC\eric's program PVR-Scheduler (costs 5 Euro's) and use Hibernate instead of standby, works a treat. Anyway hopefully my comments will give you an insight into any potential TV card problems you may experience, also look at the link below for more ideas.
