Stocking the Terratec 2400i dual dvb-t card?

[Funkstar]

Scan have two that i can see straight away.

The Nova-T MCE
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=189914

and the Kworld 100SS
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=288373

MCE driver for the above can be found here:

(got one of these cards, fully featured and apparently a very good card all round and £37 is a bargain)

Cheers Funkstar,

Kworld 100SS look a good option.

one question, how does the pip function work with only one tuner. Does it mean you can check a tv station while watching a dvd?

thanks

I'm in two minds. I don't know whether to wait for these or go for a Nebula usb master and slave setup (once Nebula sort out the 3.5 software problems, that is).

The only problem is I don't think you can record radio if you use it in an MCE setup.

Compro DVB-T300 with both analogue and digital (but only one at a time) £51.95

I think in MCE you can only use the DVB tuner.

Alternatively there is the cheaper Compro DVB-T200 which is DVB-T only and is MCE compatible.

They're actually on Today Only so a bit cheaper today.

The Compro cards have a power on feature (you wire your 2pin power button lead through the card) and you can use their scheduling software to turn the PC on and off when you want to record.

That's what I'm getting for xmas. The specs looked good, but I tried to find reviews on it but couldn't find any reviews on it. If anyone has anymore info on the card, that'd be nice .

bought the Compro DVB-T200. installed fine but i'm getting very jerky tv in MCE 2005.....

not too happy - wonder if it is a codec issue?

I would also be interested in trhis dual dvb-t tuner, let me know the prices when you have them in.

I'm liasing with Pete.b. and purchasing at the moment about stocking these cards.

I haven't tried mine in MCE but in Windows XP Pro I find raising the task priority get rid of the stuttering. I use Priority Master 2005 to automatically raise the task priority when the task is started. Only costs $10.

These threads might be useful (the only difference between the T200 and T300 is the additional analogue TV support on the T300).

Thanks for that blinky - i'll try raising the task priority.

I'm hoping its not a reception issue as i've had perfect signal through the set top box i had before this card.

Any news of the Terratec 2400i dual dvb-t card yet?

Edit: just noticed on another site that an OEM version will be available without remote and software - personally I'd prefer this as I've already got MCE2005 and remote.

I've noticed on a couple of other forums that the latest date for the Terratec 2400i card is 19th December - can anybody at Scan confirm this and whether you'll be getting any. Would make a nice extra chrimbo pressie
