[QUOTE="Mew, post: 645743, member: 29012"] Hi J On the Amazon site it says: "Geniatech X8000T is a [B]DVB-T[/B] + Analogue TV + FM 3-in-One TV/Radio card...." This implies it is DVB-T only and not DVB-T2 (as I am sure a manufacturer would heavily promote DVB-T2 if the card had it). As far as I am aware there are no DVB-T2 PC cards available at present. Hauppauge was talking about producing a DVB-T2 USB tuner and I think it was due to appear before the World Cup, but there is no sign of it yet. Questions on the Hauppauge forum seem to indicate the staff there don't know when they will launch it.
