[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 295421, member: 13176"] If you have pci-e available, these supposedly do not have any standby issues (seen none reported), T500 is 2xusb tuners using a via usb chip to convert the transmissions to the pci bus, again have not had major problems with standby using the current Vista MCE or Mediaportal Release Candidate installations. If it was me, i would most probably go for something like the Terratec, as there is no bing bong with Vista as it restarts the tuners on resume. That's not knocking the T500 as it has been rock solid for the last 2 years, but then i have had to choose which version of MP to use with it, currently it works absolutely fine with MP1.0RC2 It's one of those things where you read critisism about both components and you make a choice, mine was easy, it was the only dual tuner available at the time, now there are lots more, and i have found out driver support can be far more important nowadays than the hardware purchased. Sorry, its a choice you have to make :rolleyes: Best Wishes [/QUOTE]
