[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 930162, member: 75318"] Just a small comment on the new TBS tuner cards. I previously used 1 x Hauppuage DVB-T dual tuner, 1 x Peak DVB-T dual tuner and 1 x TBS 6981 DVB-S/S2 dual tuner. I have set the new DVB-T/T2 tuners higher in the TV server priority list than the DVB-S/S2 tuners. This means that for the HD channels in the UK I now use T2, instead of S/S2. There seems a marked difference in the quality of the picture on HD now, and this is also true on DVB-T (SD) transmissions too. There seem to be less artifacts, and a sharper picture on the DVB-T transmission of Sky News. One of the worst offenders for this reduced picture quality was the "Yesterday" channel. I originally put this down to a lower bandwidth broadcast, and whilst this is possibly true, the picture now is much, much better. It is clear that the TBS DVB-T/T2 card is far better than the Peak & Hauppauge ones, and this is possibly due to the previous cards being of a much older design. So far I cannot fault the Quad card at all. [/QUOTE]
