New ATI board-SageTV will support?

Oh that eazy Opus4 THINK DUAL TUNER

[Opus4]

Yeah, but my dual tuner solution is to use a separate FM tuner card. The problem with that is it is an ISA card which won't be usable whenever I upgrade the machine & Dlink no longer make their USB FM tuner. I don't know if there are any other USB or PCI FM-only products.

Anytime the FM tuner is on the TV card & the FM/TV tuners can't be use at the same time, it isn't a feasible card to use, since no matter how many of them you have installed, it means one card can't be used to record TV if FM is in use. To me, dual TV cards are for simultaneous recordings.

Sorry for getting the thread off track. Oh, wait: it isn't off track if this ATI card can use its TV & FM tuners simulataneously... which I doubt. But it would be nice if it could.

You rigth but that idea with DUAL tuner so can get round some of that problem
Well FM only products in the UK that eazy http://modulartech.com/
DAB Digital Radio PCI card
USB FM Radio
I don't know any card that can do both TV & FM tuning simulataneously on one card.

That's funny -- their USB FM radio looks just like my D-Link DSB-R100, except that theirs has an opaque case rather than a transparent one. (The plastic case even has the same shape.) I guess it is still in production _somewhere_.

I still have not been able to get the recording quality working with this card with 1.4.10 despite the patience and support from SHS via email (thanks again).

I have heard that it should work with SageV2 however I cannot test it without buying it and I do not want to buy it without making sure it works.....

I have been using MCE and it does not have serial support so I cannot change channels, although it doe have good PQ and nice GUI. I am waiting the arrival of the ATI RW to try and get it working with MCE(I bought the ATI RW since it is said to work will all 3 apps MCE,Sage and Snapstream)

I cannot make a decision on which app I will use permantly untill I get it to work with all 3 and then compare from there....

I will not purchase a program until I am sure that it is going to work with all features of software enabled

Since my last post I did more reading and have cancelled the Order fro the ATI remote and have ordered the MCE remote. The reason is that The ATI cannot control my STB with MCE and the Phillips MCE remote will work with all applications (I have serial connection for Sage and BTV)

I sill have not made a decision on what SW I am going with. I will await v2 release (hopefully soon) and the BTV 3.5 release b4 I make my final decision

Does nayone know how close they are to offering up Sage V2 for download to the general public??
