If you have enough slots and enough 5vsb, the single tuner hauppauge ones worked well for me :) - but you need and aerial amp/splitter, as they drag down signal

Theres 5 pci slots.....the aerial should be good enuf.....spent £130 last year on new aerial and cable......but bloody topuptv freeview box is still trying to get signal off oxford transmitter.....when the aerial is pointing to medips transmitter....and gives perfect picture on analogue  >:(

Hence why im giving up with it  ;)

Oh, you will still need an amp/splitter behind the MCE to power a couple of those cards ;)

Each of those MCE cards (single tuner hauppauge) will needs its own feed from amp, unless they have resolved that (unlikely)

I did ask aerial blokey about fitting an aerial amplifier.....but he said the strength i was getting was ample and aeriel amplifier would overload the tv and vid recorder....and wouldn fit one.....just goes to show how crap topuptv boxes are  >:(
