[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 267747, member: 14311"] Regular PCI is very limiter with regards to muliple tuners as fas as the BDA driver model is concerned. From what I believe, BDA drivers can only address one tuner on each PCI device. With PCI-e this isn't a problem as you have havle multiple devices on the one card comunicating through the same interface. Thus getting round this stupid limitation. The PCI limitation was the reason the Hauppauge Nova-T 500 used two USB tuners and a USB controller on a PCI card. So by extension, you would need to put a usb DVB-T tuner, a USB DVB-S tuner and a USB controller on a regular PCI card to get it working. I can't see there being a big enough market for this to be viable. Happy to be proved wrong though :) [/QUOTE]
