[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 560596, member: 11220"] Had a similar dilemma myself as I have been having a couple of issues with my dual DVB-T / dual DVB-S Pinnacle 7010ix PCI-express card. Bought a Hauppauge Nova-T stick for £30 as figured that if it was rubbish £30 was not too much money wasted. After I got it installed yesterday channel changing is now much much quicker (two seconds when was eight). I think picture quality is still the same. One thing to note is that some internal tuners are actually USB tuners with a PCI=>USB adaptor on the card. The issues I see with USB are that they can take a while to be recognised (there is a delay setting in TV Server which might be advisable) but they also have the benefit that a reset can be done a lot easier without a reboot (Once every so often my PCI-e card is not recognised on resume or boot so only way to get it recognised is to reboot) [/QUOTE]
