[kippermitten]

Hello.

Im replacing my doomed technosonic pvr101 Aldi special with a htpc but I want to do the same as the PVR e.g. gt freeview and record to hdd but also record one channel and watch a different one.

So which cards are best? Will I need two to get dual tuner AND freeview?

Ta fer any help and suggestions as to software appreciated!

Perry.

Terratec Cinergy 2400i allows simultaneous recording and playback of freeview for a decent price, PCI express 1x which you an look at as a drawback or advantage.
