[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1160743, member: 141969"] The first tuner card that I purchased (for use with WMC) was a Hauppauge Nova TD-500 dual-tuner PCI card. Actually, I purchased three cards, because I wanted six DVB-T tuners in my HTPC. The problem with this arrangement was that one card by itself worked fine, but two or more did not; they failed to be recognised on wake from sleep. :( In this case (PCI, and not PCI Express), the general view was that the problem was caused by a timing issue during wake from sleep (this was WMC, not MP). I eventually found a single post from a Hauppauge Support representative on a Hauppauge forum stating that more than one Nova TD-500 PCI card in a system was not a supported configuration, and that Hauppauge were never going to fix it. :mad: So I junked those Hauppauge cards, and purchased three Pinnacle 2000i dual-tuner PCI cards, which worked perfectly. :) But when DVB-T2 (HD) arrived at my location, I junked the Pinnacle cards and purchased two TBS quad-tuner cards, which it turned out also have wake-from-sleep problems. :cry: Actually "junked" is not quite correct; I still have all of those Hauppauge and Pinnacle tuner cards. Anyone interested in buying them? :whistle: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
