[QUOTE="bcummins, post: 832884, member: 118103"] Thank you very much for that clarification, it's a shame that kind of information isn't readily available when scouring the search engines! In the end I've opted for a different configuration because of the cost vs. performance implications. I went with the AMD APU (A8-3870K) because the IGP is as good as the nvidia low profile card I purchased. This has freed up the PCIe slot on the motherboard so I can opt for an internal solution purely for the 3 reasons that it is cheaper, cooler and tidier. I opted for the cheaper card without Blind Scan in the end and as I plan to use MP I'm glad I didn't pay the extra in that case! This is excellent news. I had gathered from my searches looking for problems that it probably wasn't going to be the case but it is good to confirm. In the end I opted for a single input card. I appreciate the point it's worth getting the cable sorted but, I factored in my usage. Never in my time of using Freesat have I seen something in 2 channels at once and had that "wish i could watch 1 and record 1" dilemma (only that I want to record something I miss due to being away) so I don't really think it's necessary. I also would only ever watch 1 tv at a time (although I did hear if channels are in the same "group" or "banding" I could actually watch/record simultaneously through 1 connection; is that something you've come across? Thanks again for the excellent reply :thx: [/QUOTE]
