    AW: Terratec Cinergy T PCIe Dual

    Hi,
    I've just bought the card a few days ago because there was just one slot left on my board.
    Changing channels is really fast and the quality is great for hd channels as well as sd.

    I can really recommend it and using it with Mepo takes me 5 minutes (just mapping the channels from the already existing card to the Terratec).

    But:
    It is a Dual Tuner only for DVB-T. I first thought this will also work with DVB-C but this was a missunderstanding from there ambiguous specification. With DVB-C you've just got one tuner and not a "dual" one.

    Thanks MM for welcoming and the nice answer!

    As you can see I'm not a profession at digital media. I used an analog tuner long time ago, and it was HW dependent which resolution it can record (I think).
    As for the PCIe x16: I think I rather buy a mATX mobo instead of mITX, so I will have a PCIe x1 for the card!

    It's not a dual C tuner?!
    Oh, my... your post worth a fortune! I need a dual C tuner, than this means I have no other choice left but DD Cine V6. Buying 2 Terra would be more expensive I think.

    Girls and guys thank you!

    Thanks items for the suggestion. I still rather choose DD, it looks better for me. It's very, very expensive indeed...

    The best tuner i ever seen was from digital devices, but prices are 130-170 euros for dvb-c tuners.
    DD Cine V6 is best money can buy.
    Some users report problems with TBS tuners.

    Are you sure that this Terratec is not dual on dvb-c? Because terratec told me so.

    It somehow sound weird anyways that the card can tune on two DVB-T tuners bu not on DVB-C...should make no difference from the technical perspextive.

    Yes I am. I've installed the driver and there's just one DVB-C Tuner to be selected but two DVB-T. Thats also what Terratec told me when I asked them about that.

    Ok, I finally bought this card. I also confirm that it has 2x DVB-T and 1x DVB-C tuner.
    Not worth to use the CD, because it has an older driver on it, which does not support the DVB-C tuner, so download the latest!

    I was able to record all TV stations on one transponder frequency! And watch one of them of course! This is good news. I think I'll buy another one or a C PCI HD.

    Hi @Greenhorn7, to help narrow this down a bit, I suspect that when the recordings menu entry is missing you are probably also missing menu entries for Videos, Movies, Series and Images too. Can you confirm? Does simply navigating to a different screen then back to home again cause the recordings menu item to show up? Those menu...

    MP1 MP2 Card recommendation DE
    I have a TBS 6284 PCIE card, which is an older quad-tuner DVB-T/T2 card. The tuners are significantly more sensitive than my Pinnacle 2000i DVB-T dual tuner card (and hence less likely to exhibit pixelation), but noticeably less sensitive than the tuner in my Sony TV. The Pinnacle card has been "rock solid" -- no problems at all. But...

    MP1 MP2 Case Downsizing DE
    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...
