[QUOTE="megsum, post: 633082, member: 89778"] Hi, I'm currently using a Terratec Cinergy 2400i in my HTPC which gives me dual tuners from a single aerial cable. It works very well with no problems whatsoever. I'm looking at building a new HTPC which will hopefully be mini-itx sized. That's all fine until I come to the TV card as a full height card won't fit in a nice small mini-itx case. I know that there are mini-itx cases which will support it, but I'd like a nice slim one ideally. So I thought I'd go to a USB tuner instead. Immediate thoughts are that the Hauppauge Nova-TD would be perfect but I'm sure I read somewhere that the dual tuner stuff only works with the Hauppauge software. Does anyone know if that's true? I've seen others that look to need two inputs. I only have one aerial cable and I'd rather not have to split it or run another. I could if need be, but it would be easier not to. Any suggestions for a dual tuner USB stick which only requires one aerial cable? Failing that, any recommendations for a dual tuner stick at all would be great. Or alternatively a low profile dual tuner PCI-E card? Cheers, Adam [/QUOTE]
