Hi and welcome, Emiliano.87

It will take me to much time to read about all these cards, but I can give you some tips:
[*] Make sure that your card has hardware encoding capabilities
---> Reason: All the kinds of cards should work flawlessly with MP, and they won't make CPU go bananas.
[*] Stay away from hybrid carsd
---> Reason: These are somewhat more troublesome to set up and almost never have hardware encoding capabilities. Normally only one tuner can be used at the same time, and a decent analogue + a DVB does not cost much more.

Thank you for the quick reply, I do think that the ads tech one might work, but im not sure, the card site doesnt give much information:

ADS Tech

What about pinnacle 50i/110i???

I don't think the ADS card has Hardware Encoding, otherwise they would have said so on the website. Cards with Hardware-Encoding are usually the more expensive cards....

Another solution might be ask a friend who is in USA atm to buy me some tv tuner with hardware encoding in some retailer such as bestbuy or compusa, i looked por hauppauge ones on compusa but it seems they only support NTSC analog signal, and my country has pal-n, anyone know a PAL-N card with hardware encoding ???
