[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 968427, member: 75318"] Hi Alex, I do like TBS. They seem to respond to their customers queries very well via the TBS forum. They also seem to have active discussions with MP Devs too. The reason I went with TBS is that I had a DVB-S/S2 card from a couple of years back and it was faultless, so I just stuck with what I was familiar with. The TBS 6984 has now been superceded by the [URL='http://www.tbsdtv.com/products/tbs6985-dvb-s2-quad-tuner-pcie-card.html']TBS6985[/URL] The only improvement I can see is that the newer card also supports 16APSK & 32APSK demodulation, whereas the 6984 is only 8PSK QPSK - this is beyond my knowledge but could provide for better future proofing.[SIZE=12px][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#666666][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] Myself and a couple of other users have had a small issue recently where the cards have had to be 'preloaded' in the TV Server tuner settings, otherwise live TV would freeze when another tuner was activated.
