I don't have an answer to your query as I was also looking at one of these to replace my twin NOVA-T cards. However if the drivers follow the BDA architecture properly, then ishould work. There is at least one person using a twin tuner terratec Cinergy 2400i DT that I know of.

There were a number of quality& driver problems with these cards ( check the following URL http://www.xpmediacentre.com.au/comm...available.html ) as well as the tuners being picky about the quality of antenna feed. Others questioned the quality/reliability of the VIA USB to PCI bridge used to support the dual tuners.

With so much less than positive press about a new product, I didn't end up getting one. I would be interested to know if anything has changed as I'd still be keen on getting one.

Cheers
