Hi all
I'm contemplating building a new HTPC. My current one is a hacked up and beaten up HP Pavilion Slimline with a full size Pinnacle 7010ix card fitted (not very well I may add) internally.
I am looking to build a more permanent solution on a not-too-extravagant budget. As most of the Mini ITX cases out there only seem to support low profile cards, I'm looking for the best card low profile dual-tuner card I can get for around £50, a used one is fine. It would also need to be of the PCIe type. I've always been a fan of Black Gold product and others of a similar quality, can anyone recommend a suitable model? And for a couple extra options, do quad tuner cards come in a low profile package?
I know there are several threads on this already but I guess they may be out of date by now so hope you don't mind me posting this new one.
