Dual DVB-S card available in New Zealand?

Can anyone recommend a dual DVB-S card easily obtainable in New Zealand? I can live with either PCI or PCIe, but would like to have two independent DVB-S tuners so that I can watch Freeview & record simultaneously.
Due to a limited number of slots in my M-ATX board, I'd like to do this with a single card. Cheers.

I think there have been some success in getting the BlackGold GT3540 to work - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?For...icId=26837
There's a pinnacle one as well (only DVB-S) but not sure if anyone have brought one of those in before.

It doesn't work with gbpvr, neither scanning or tuning. sub had a quick look the other day when remotely logging in, but I guess without success. Nice card, small, neat and cheap - but a no-no for now.

That's a real bummer, that Pinnacle card looked like just the thing. The only other option is the Black Gold card, which is probably way out of my price range with the Kiwi$ low as it is right now. I wonder if it's a driver problem that may be corrected in future? I'm almost tempted to pick up the Pinnacle anyway... If I can find one here in NZ.

I'm sure it's a driver problem. But I'm not too happy about Pinnacle support - I have a feeling they produce something and then just ignore it once they move on..... |
