Brilliant! 2 May 2009
I spent ages looking for a dual DVB-T TV-Tuner for a Media Centre I was building. There were surprisingly few to choose from and most of them (according to the reviews) seemed to work with either Vista or XP MCE, but not both. As I didn't know which OS I was going to go for at the time, this was a problem.

Then I found this card which appeared to do what I wanted, said it worked with both Vista and XP and was very cheap. Surely there must be a catch!

Well, there isn't. It does everything it should do. The picture quality is fantastic. The TV software on the disk works, but most people will probably (and quite wisely) choose to use the Windows Media Centre interface anyway.

In summary, brilliant product at a brilliant price.

I bought two of these for my new HTPC, to use with Windows Media center, and was initially very pleased. Then I noticed I was missing a few channels, including C4, ITV, and Five. It turns out, those channels have poor signal in my area, but my freeview TV and the settop box I was using before getting these picked up those channels fine.

I bought a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 as replacement, and it picked up the missing channels instantly.

So, my advice: if you are in an area with good signal strength, these are well worth getting - at less than half the price of most of the competitors. But if reception is bad, you'll regret it and need to spend a bit more to get a better card.

Brilliant value 15 Sep 2009
I had to build a new media centre PC and my old TV card was a Terratec PCI Express x1 and there wasn't a spare slot for it in the new box. So bought this card at a third of the price. While the picture isn't as sharp as the old card it is much more reliable with the software I am using - mediaportal.

An absolute bargain - highly recommended.
