That's pretty much what I plan to do, except from a 7200GS. Are you
saying your TV is 50Hz whereas your card is sending a PAL60 signal? I
do like a bit of MOTD !

I didn't realise that. Can you view one of those channels whilst
recording another, or does that require two dedicated tuners?

I think perhaps I will try this option, and if reception is bad then
try DVB-S cards with Freesat.
