I have a media center. I admit it! Running windows 7, and actually not too bad. We have just gone fully digital, and HD channels are available. My thought is this. There's a PCIe 1x socket on the motherboard, but blocked by the graphics card. I don't particularly want to upgrade the MB, so will a 1x ribbon cable work to connect the card to the socket, I envisage that the blackgold card -which has a long or short interchangable backplate- should be possible to mount upside down with the connector pointing up, to meet the cable. Any thoughts? Also thinking about a SSD - about 60gig - as a system drive, moving the swapfile to the HDD. |

Yes, you can use a flexible riser card/cable for this. SSD's speed it up but make sure you move the temp recording location off C first. The new blackgold card is out in a week or two, dual DVB-T2 & dual DVB-S2 on the same card |

WANT Got a link to it? Will be very interested if it's half height, even more if the dvb-s2 feeds can loopback internally to allow (limited) dual channel support from one tuner Nevermind found one http://shop.blackgold.tv/epages/BT3159. ... ts/BGT3600 pricey, will be a bit of a wait before I get that I think as I'll want a proper dual/better lnb on the dish and it's a rented place |

I paid the rough equivalent of that for my first analogue capture card. It was bleedin' edge at the time, as was my 486. It would have captured full SD if the hard disk had kept up! |

Not really that pricey is it? The only DVB-T2 PC tuner I've seen is a USB stick, was only single tuner and that was 80 quid. Two of those PLUS two DVB-S2 tuners for less than double the cost seems fairly reasonable to me... Jon |

I only need the DVB-S2 bit, and in comparison to my single DVB-S which is <£25 and a DVB-S2 is ~£50 so it is to me
