[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 1154883, member: 57999"] Right, got the new tuners and all running fine :) I went for a TBS 6982 dual DVB-S2 PCIe card, which seems excellent, and a cheap Astrometa-based USB DVB-T2 tuner as mentioned by [USER=83973]@Owlsroost[/USER], which is slow to tune as he pointed out (had to increase the tuning timeout in TVServer to 5 seconds to be able to tune HD) but works very well (and as the DVB-T is mostly only used as a backup the slow tuning isn't going to annoy anybody). The TBS card still runs pretty hot, but possibly not quite as hot as the BlackGold. Must be a thing with DVB-S tuners. All in all very happy (apart from having killed by BGT3600 in the first place!)
