My Pinnacle 7010ix (note the x on the end as it's a PCI Express card) that I bought from Ebay arrived a few days ago. My package sounds identical to Lakeuk's. It contains the smallest remote control that I have ever seen for any device. I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't have an A/V adaptor (PN 8202-26247-71 on the spec sheet). I guess that I could make one up but it would be nice to have the pukka article for the option of analogue TV capture from a Set Top Box. On one end it's an s-video size plug but with 7-pins & on the other end s-video (4-pins), composite video & a 1/8" stereo jack socket for audio). If anyone knows of a source I would be very grateful

I have only had a quick play at present but can confirm that it works well but is DVB-S only. It's good value as a dual tuner DVB-T (Freeview) card but adding dual tuner DVB-S & even the option of analogue capture with the correct lead then it is an absolute bargain & it only takes a single PCIe slot. I'm not too worried about lack of DVB-S2 given the bargain price & the fact that I have several DVB-S2 tuners already.
