It might be worth also looking at the A6-3500 too:

Thanks very much guys - last silly question; Should i be getting a dual DVB card? Currently using a HUMAX box which takes 1 cable input, i have another cable coming out of the satellite but it never worked with the HUMAX... is this because the HUMAX doesn't support dual DVB or is there a problem with the cable (i.e. should they be outputting the same signal and both work the same)?

Hi there

Ordered everything but the TV card

Any reasoning behind this:

I.e. particularly good in reviews/with mediaportal?

I installed one myself this week and it seems to do the job well....the other main contender is the blackgold, which is twice the price and has been out of stock for over a month.
