Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT

Hi Folks,

Just a quick question - did anyone buy the Cinergy card when it was on "One Week Only" and if you did, what are your impressions?

Cheers

Got mine just before christmas (obv. not from here ) - using the MCE version with GB-PVR

It is an excellent quality card, but you do get occasional stutters/breaks when recording (with me, it is always on the ITV channels as that is the weakest signal) Previously used a Twinhan DVB-T USB jobbie - this is now in the bin as the software was so sensitive that if the card lost the signal, it rebooted my machine (on three different boxes)

Hi Andre,

Many thanks for your comments!

I presently use a Nebula Digitv on one machine that breaks up like mad on any channels related to the ITV and Channel 4 muxes

On my other machine I use a Freecom USB dongle and while the software is no great shakes I get excellent recordings.

So, I am now going to exploit the makers CeBIT offer and see how I get on

Cheers

I've had one for quite a while. The drivers still aren't on the money (channel scan in MCE returns many many more channels than it should (around 200), and some people still report unexpected signal loss (though this has been sorted for me with the current betas).

There's a huge thread over on avforums about this card, I suggest you have a read before you spend any money.

Ooops - seems people are as hacked off with the Terratec as much as they are with the Nebula...

I think I'll wait a while

Good call! I'm still waiting on decent drivers but terratec don't seem to be in a rush, to top it all it's the only thing not working on my MCE box

Shame about your setup - have you tried the beta drivers and importing the frequency list from another tuner?
