    TV Card advice

    Ok guys, currently have a pinacle usb digital tv stick in the media pc but would like to be able to watch tv one one channel and record another so i want a dual tuner.

    Internal would be better but not really fussed, must work with media center and would like a remote if possible too, only shop at scan as its just down the road, can anybody recommend any ?

    And do you need to feed two coax aerials into it or does it get it all off one ?

    Hopefully i get a reply by the morning as im heading off to scan to buy some blank media !

    regards

    I'd be interested to know what you got and how you got along with using it. I could be looking to replace my Nebula soon with something that is Vista x64 compatible.

    I read the Hexus review on the Compro VideoMate E700 and I've also been looking at the Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT.

    So far the review on the Terratec seems better to me.
