Avermedia Twinstar A188

Just bought one of these DVB-T Twin Tuners, PCI-e, anyone used one? Everything else sees two tuners, Sage only sees one. Anyone got any ideas, or does it need to go back?

I reckon they have to go back...with SageTV the tuner compatibility is a little bit of a gamble. You probably have better luck with tuners that are fully WMC compatible and have full WHQL compliant BDA device drivers.

Hybrid tuners are a no go with SageTV unless they are officially supported in the tuner list.

Saying that, I have the TBS6984 (DVB-S) without WHQL certified drivers and it works perfectly, have you considered the equivalent Quad DVB-T?

Leave the TBS twin tuner alone as only one of the two tuners is visible by SageTV.

Yeah, someone has reported it as working too, but a bit bloody pricey at £155...

Probably if you shop around/ebay you can get a better deal, but consider that is a quad tuner and that means £38 per tuner, not bad at all IMHO.

Aye, you're probably right...
