[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1160718, member: 141969"] Your requirement for a [b]not problematic[/b] dual tuner may be why there have been relatively few replies. :( I use a TBS 6284 [b]quad[/b] tuner card, which [i]has[/i] proved problematic in my HTPC. Specifically, I cannot use sleep (I have to use hibernation). But I am reasonably sure that this is due to defective motherboard BIOS in my HTPC, but I cannot exclude the possibility that it is a problem with the design of the TBS tuner card. (I have two cards, and both exhibit the same problem, so not a sample variation.) If you want to consider TBS, they make single, dual, and quad tuner cards for PCI-Express, and also single and dual tuner units for USB connection. Strangely, the TBS website does not promote their DVB-T/T2 tuner cards, and I could not find the product descriptions. But their forums start here: [URL]http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/[/URL] The TBS 6280 (obsolete) and TBS 6281 are the dual-tuner cards. If you search the internet, you should be able to find a retailer in Spain who stocks these cards. Another maker of DVB-T/T2 tuner cards is BlackGold, but their reputation is... err... problematic. Search the internet for reviews and experiences of BlackGold tuner cards. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
