Hi, Hans, thank you very much for your suggestion. Sorry for replying so late. On 25 Οκτ 2007, at 1:08 ΜΜ, Hans Verkuil wrote: > One option is the Hauppauge PVR-500 that has two tuners.

So basically this is true for all iTVC15/iTVC16-based devices, supported by ivtv, this one included? In the pictures I saw there is a single RF input; this is somehow split internally is this signal somehow split internally so both tuners work independently? In the end you get two MPEG-PS from two video devices? Do you happen to know if these cards are sold in Europe? I am asking because this model is only listed in the Hauppauge US site, and I couldn't find them in any European-based stores so far. I was looking at HVR cards (like the HVR-1300 and HVR-4000), but I think none of these feature both a hardware encoder and dual tuners. Right? Any other suggestions? I would even consider single-tuner cards, if they're well supported and the quality is really good. Would you or anyone suggest a specific cx88+blackbird card? > Watch out for PVR-500 cards that use a Samsung tuner: avoid them, > these> tuners can give you a lot of trouble depending on the quality of your> input signal. Hauppauge lists two models: 00253 and 00254. I suppose I would be interested in the second one, since Hauppauge says it's the one with a PAL tuner (or is that a software feature?). Is this somehow related to the above? Is there any way I could tell if a specific card has this tuner (before installing it)? Maybe last questions should be addressed to ivtv-users instead, but I thought I'd ask you anyway. Thanks again.
