Hi,

Is anyone using one of these cards?

It seems to have Vista 64 BDA drivers and looks like a good card, I have ordered one and I'm hoping it will work with SageTV?

Thanks,

David

Anyone got this working well with SageTV yet?

I'm sure the bit poeple are most interested in is the DVB-S2. Can we watch the Freesat HD channels with the card on SageTV?

Will be getting one as soon as I know it can do this

I am installing one now, it's not supported in Sage but works in DVB Viewer so I am using Stephanes DVB Viewer network encoder.

The two DVBS tuners are working ok, the only problem I have found is that I am not getting 5.1 sound with BBC HD at the moment.

The DVBT tuners did not seem to work properly using the same settings I used for the DVBS tuners, I am not sure why as they work ok in DVB Viewer.
I might not use them as I already have 4 DVBT tuners which are handled directly in Sage.

As far as i Know this card is DVB-S1 and not DVB-S2 but its ok for the HD channels at the moment.

I bought this card as I wanted 2 more satellite tuners and I only had 1 spare PCI-E slot spare on my motherboard, so its working ok for me.

You could also look at the technotrend cards which are S2 and supported in Sage, I also have one of these installed and it works fine.
