But browsing BlackGold's web I've found this <a href="http://shop.blackgold.tv/epages/BT3159.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3159/Products/BGT3500" target="_blank">BGT3500</a> which I like and seems similar to the BT3895 except for the PCIe. I couldn't find the Recommended hardware from Team MediaPortal (FlyTV Express X1 MST T2A2M) anywhere (online shops, shops around, ebay) but I tried to find the PCI version mainly. I didnt bother with FireDTV nor FloppyDTV (as I didnt like them too much), but if you guys strongly recommend it, then I would give it a serious thought.Please any advice would be very appreciated. I would summarize what I need now. Im looking for a PCI DVB-T Dual tunner card with MPEG4 Hardware Encoding capabilities and able to run with MP mainly in windows 7 but I could hold on for while on XP. As much stable as possible.I want to thank you all for taking the time to read this. And moreover to the ones who take the time to answer me. Thank you all. By the way congrats to the Team Mediaportal's web designer for this very intuitive GUI.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
