Can be had on USB these days. Make sure you get DVB-T2 if you want all the terrestrial channels (HD and some additional SD channels)
thanks, was looking for an internal card if you could recommend one.

Not so familiar with this subject but this product looks to offer what you need. Assuming you have a PCIe x1 slot.
If you're using Win 10 it's worth seeing if the drivers have been sorted.
Card is a DVBSky T9580

thanks can only see windows 7 drivers for it,im on windows 10
I’ve used a TBS6280 dual tuner card before on Win 7, 8 and 10 for SD and HD freeview. Runs off a pciex1 slot.
They also do DVB-S/2 cards for satellite too and multi standard cards. No experience of their satellite cards / multi cards but the latter has an app to switch modes between DVB-T/2 to DVB-S/2.
They may have cards that receive both standards at same time but i’ve not looked. Failing that you could get a DVB-T card and a DVB-S card if you had free pcie slots. If not they also do external tuners via USB (multi standard) which I was going to get but shame it’s only single external tuner.

I used the DVBSky T9580 PCIe. Discontinued now but there updated models. Still works fine with Windows 10.

thanks ...what are the updated models thanks..im a knob at this.
A tad harsh
Why specifically do you need both and what’s the anticipated usage/OS? Without knowing that, steering you in a specific direction is dubious at best.
Having both can complicate things in terms of EPG management, generally the significant reasons to have both are gone, most of the mainstream stuff is now free on both DVB-T and DVB-S, you can get more obscure crap on sat and bit-rate can be higher, but generally DVB-T covers what the majority will want, and usually in HD.
i cant get R T E on the dish, only on the ariel so need both main thing is watching tv on pc ,while the other half watches her soaps in running windows 10.A tad harsh
