[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 361309, member: 85629"] I have had a pace freeview pvr since the early days, I didn't want to get a separate freesat pvr, so I decided to build myself a htpc pvr to do both at the same time. So, I'm using the blackgold 6-in-1 3450 card for a my uk htpc freesat/freeview pvr box. It has two DVB-T tuners and two DVB-S (not S2) tuners. I have recorded 4 things at once (or recorded 3 and watched one). you need one aerial (DTT) feed and two satellite LNB feeds. low profile card as well so if you go for a small form factor htpc case like me (antec micro-fusion) it fits. only thing to be aware of is there is a separate power connector on the card quite low down close to the slot insert - so if there is a heatsink from the mobo sticking up, you may have to be careful about which slot it will fit in (it doesn't fit in the PCIEx1 slot on my mobo due to the northbridge heatsink, which is a bit annoying ) it also works with windows fiji if you want to experiment with that. I did, and ended up with mediaportal ta Ian [/QUOTE]
