Seems to be little information around to say how people rate the performance of Digital Tuner cards for watching Freeview etc.
Recently I set up a new PC system and installed the Compro VideoMate DVB-T300 Combo PCI Tuner Card for DVB-T and analog TV reception + FM Radio.
Which sounds all very whizzy but it didnt perform to well in the number of channels it could detect. The card could only manage to pick up around 10 channels like UK History and other ones with a very strong signal. It could not tune in any of the main ones like (BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, C5).
I know my area only receives a medium signal strength, but when plugging in a stand alone Digital receiver to my aerial/TV such as Matsui DTR 1 Digital TV Receiver, I can tune in around 35 stations.
This happened at my place in Edinburgh, at my parents in Dundee the Matsui could pick up all the channels and the DVB-T300 card could not tune in any !
Was thinking of trying Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-T Freeview receiver PCI but was wondering if anyone else has had tuning problems with that card?
Cheers DD.
