Bump?

Ok, maybe I was a bit too long winded before

Summary- are there any good quality Dual Hybrid DVB-T/Analog PCI TV Tuner cards (must be W7MC compatible & preferably with Hardware Encoding) out there? Is it possible to have the dual feature as DVB-T and Analog or can it only be 2 x DVB-T or 2 x Analog?

The only one I can find is the Blackgold BGT3500 http://shop.blackgold.tv/epages/BT3159.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3159/Products/BGT3500. Anybody using this card in W7MC?

Not sure if this helps, but Black Gold are soon to release their BG3595 multi tuner, which kind of does it all - Twin DVB-T, Analogue, and DVB-S2.

It has been due out for a while, but think they have been ironing out the compatibility issues with W7.  I am currently waiting for this as i am on my 2nd <£40 twin DVB-T Tuner, but feel there is a definate gap in the market.

Worth a look

Thanks antmatz, though unfortunately the BGT3595 is PCI-E & I only have one PCI slot left

I'm still not 100% sure if I require Mpeg-4 decoding on the card in order to get Irish-DTT (Mpeg-4 broadcast).

At the moment, my only options is:

• Blackgold BGT3500 = £93 = €106 (has the lot)
• Compro VideoMate T750F = £41 = €47 (no hardware encoding, never heard of this US brand, but cheap)

However, if I give up on the dual option, I'm thinking:

• Hauppauge WinTV- HVR-1300 = €82 (has hardware encoding but has been dropped from UK Hauppauge website?)
• Terratec cinergy HT PCI = €46 (no hardware encoding, but cheap)

Sorry, didn't realise about the pci.

How about a 'peak' dual tuner, that is what i am currently using, (pci) and seems ok in Windows 7, however it is still fairly cheap, and i am of the opinion 'you get what you pay for'.

For me it is a stepping stone until the BGT3595.
