[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 812814, member: 82144"] Hi and welcome Arena :) HD channel support is not usually dependent on the TV card - any DVB-C tuner can receive 1920x1080 video streams *as long as they are DVB-C broadcasts*. In other words, the TV tuner does not have to decode h.264 or MPEG 2 video. The confusion is possibly caused by satellite and terrestrial tuners where HD channels are usually transmitted using DVB-[B]S2[/B] and DVB-[B]T2[/B]. Regular DVB-S and DVB-T tuners can't receive DVB-S2 or DVB-T2 signals. Regarding the PCIe x16 slot: it *might* work. I put x1 cards in x16 slots in my Shuttle test PCs and they work, however there is a limitation: I have to use VGA video output instead of DVI. For some reason Intel chipsets have a limitation that non-video cards in a x16 slot prevent the digital onboard graphics output from working. mm [/QUOTE]
