[QUOTE="Vic Thornley, post: 931688, member: 133118"] HI all. Many thanks, I opted for the PCTV 290e (with a little help from my employee discount scheme), indeedy Win 7 plug and played it, but TV configuration didnt see it, no card in the list except 1 IPTV and 1 WebRadio. Uninstalled and reinstalled driver/MPtv config still no card. Off the cuff I increased the number of IPTV to 2, which caused a restart of the TV service and lo and behold, there was my card !!, put number of IPTV down to default one and all was set. Scanned all channels, had all the channels in the list including HD. SD channels work flawlessly (picture/sound) but HD was stuttery picture and no sound. Tested signal on front room aerial box, which kept dropping out (have a TV engineer coming thursday to sort that, dont fancy ladders and going over roof). Took PC into back room where signal is good and fixed, using same tunings as front room, HD picture is great - but still no sound !. Have sound with hauppauge's TV center and with 'preview' in MP Tv configuration. But not in Media Portal. Any ideas. As you can see, am in the early designs stage. Hopefully I may get a dual tuner card, or DVB-S2 (TBS as suggested) as I still have a sky dish. [/QUOTE]
