TB - Intrested to hear about that as I have just upgraded to W7 and put my old Nova T 500 in (Dual DVBT tuner). Its working just fine but havn't used in anger yet and noticed the multiple USB hubs when it installed.
Are you using the HVR-2200 with MCE? if so, are you happy with it via MCE?

The DT 500 was poor under Vista as well. And XPMCE 2005. Hauppauge claim disabling the IR component on card helps, but it don't. Shite card if ever you use standby.

I'm much happier with HVR2200, but remember its PCIe, not PCI. Only used it for around 6 months, but it does see a lot of use.


Please note, nothing currently available can do DVB-T2, the new standard that will be used for Freeview HD

 :) :) :) Ignore this comment  :) :) :)

I've got an AverMedia analogue TV card in my PC.  Been there for ages (probably 18 months or 2 years).  Computer is approximately 1 meter from aerial outlet.  I have 3 suitable coax leads in my desk drawer.  I wonder why I've never tried it out?

I've also got a webcam of the same vintage that I've never plugged in. 

This being unemployed is very time consuming. :(

They look quite good. I  was a fan of the Nebula DVB-T cards, as you could record several programs on the same multiplex with each card, but they went bankrupt. :'( :'( :'( 

Shame,  tried a Haupauge card as an alternative, and it and the software are not a patch on the nebula offering.

I’m still using a Nebula PCI card (my second) and find it great, never misses a recording.  I will be sticking with it until DVB-T2 becomes readily available.

The company has gone bust but cards come up regularly on Ebay, such as this one (which is missing it’s remote)…

It’s only a single tuner but can be doubled up.  For more information visit this independent site…
