[linux-dvb] Any PCIe DVB-T Dual Tuner cards yet working under Linux?

[Another Sillyname]

Hi All

I've had a look around the various Wiki's and thought I'd ask here in
case anyone has one working.

I'm looking to upgrade some boxes and it occurred to me that if I can
get mobo's with PCIe only it would make life easier going forward,
however reading the wikis there only appear to be a couple of DVB-T
PCIe cards out there at the moment and support seems to be
experimental.

So my question is this....

Is anyone on the list currently using a DVB-T card that has DUAL
tuners (i.e. I'm looking to replace Hauppage 500's which work great).

You may well ask why I'd be bothered about the PCIe functionality?
Well in the UK we're all likely moving to DVB-T2 for HD sooner rather
then later and it's likely the any DVB-T2 cards (when they appear)
will only ship in a PCIe format.

Anyway all personal stories appreciated.

That is an excellent question and I am looking forward to here people
about success stories.

I am also looking for a device (PCIe preferred, or PCI or at worst USB
stick) with a dual HD tuner which is buyable from France or Europe...

I found this models which seem to be NOT supported:
- TerraTec Cinergy 2400i DT (not supported from wiki)
- TerraTec T5 Stick (no information found)
- PCTV Stick Dual DVB-T Diversity (2001e) (not supported from wiki)
- AVerMedia AVerTV Duo Hybrid PCI-E A188H (no information found)

I found this card which seems to be supported:
- Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Express
but I do not find any reseller in Europe.

I found an online reseller in the USA here:
http://www.cyberestore.com/hdtv-tv-tuner-cards/dvico-fusionhdtv-dvb-t-dual-express.html

But I am not sure that a card sold in the USA will work in Europe as USA
uses NTSC and ATSC (instead of PAL and DVB in Europe).

Christophe.

Which has actually been posed a couple of times in the recent months.
Try a search on:

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/

using "dual" you'll find one of them quickly enough at least

Have you looked at the HVR-2200 (PCIe, dual DVB-T)?

This card sounds great but it does not seem to be HD :(

Yes, it does HD.
