hello,

I am looking for a card to use with Media Center. Was hoping for the
following features and cant seem to find a card that fits all requirements.
Was hoping that someone might be able to help.

64bit and 32 bit compatible Vista Drivers.
Digital freeview enabled,
either PCI or USB
UK Pal compatible
Remote control to work with media center
Dual tuner for simultaneous live and recording purposes

many thanks in advance for your help,

Will

Hi Will, check out www.nebula-electronics.com. They supply a fabulous
tuner, USB or PCI. Their software has a few glitches but generally
works well.

They don't currently have any drivers for Vista, but they are
developing them, and they have supported x64 XP in the past so they
should also support Vista x64.

that supported 64bit too.

Errmmm...yes, me. I've used it for a couple of years.

Head across to http://www.digitv-forum.co.uk/ for discussions. The
software has bugs, notably with "recordings finishing early" and a few
other glitches. But on the whole it works very well (under XP) and
Nebula work hard to fix the bugs.

On the driver front, the Windows XP BDA driver works for my USB DVB-T tuner.
Most BDA USB drivers should be fine, PCI however is a different matter - you'll
have to wait for drivers to come out.

Can't vouch for either, but here's two dual tuners.

PCI Express x1:
