[mythtv-users] 2 USB or not 2 USB

[Matthew Anderson]

Hi,

 

MythTV Wiki has a great listing of cards you are looking for. I assume since
you are in the US you would want to stick to the ATSC cards...

 

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Digital_Tuner_Cards

 

I currently use three FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Express cards in by setup but
this card is DVB (Europe, Australia and Asia), I suspect the equivalent one
for ATSC would be the Fusion HDTV7 Dual Express. This is a PCIe card.

These cards have worked great for about 12 months, the only difficult thing
I found was configuring it initially. It requires a particular firmware
which is not hard to get and copy into the right directory. There are plenty
of simple howtos to sort this.

 

As for availability, I Just did a search on google product search and there
a couple plus there is always ebay...

Hope this helps.

 

With Regards,

Matt Anderson

Can you (or anyone) happen to recommend such a dual-tuner internal card for
MythTV use, and know where they might be obtainable in the US?  Are any of
them PCI-e, do we know?

Thanks!
