Can anyone recommend a DVB-C tuner?

[Reddwarf]

A dual tuner would be fine, pci, pci-e or usb interface? It does not need CI connection.

U dun need CI card rite? If so, then I suggest this:

http://www.buydvb.net/dvbt2-tv-tuner-pcie_c12

The three models support DVB-T2/T/C. The first is Quad tuner, the second is Dual tuner, the third is Single tuner.

And if u can wait, try to wait for some discount period, which can give up to 10% discount.

The last time this was the Christmas period and Halloween period.

I'v bought a couple of TBS usb tuners from buydvb in the past but they didn't last. Have you had any experience with their pci/pcie tuners?

I bought a TBS6280.

The link you gave me refers only to DVB-T/T2 cards, I don't see any -C quad or dual tuner cards?

The cards also support DVB-C, though it isn't always specified.

Check the drivers here, under the TBS6280 section. TBS6220 and TBS6284 also support DVB-C.

I don't think I'll chance on that. Anyone uses this card: http://www.dvbshop24.net/product_info.ph...cts_id=346
I bought a dual dvb-t/c card from conrad.de a while ago, it turned out to be dual dvb-t and single dvb-c, and lasted only for a few months.

Why dun you ask the manufacturer whether it supports DVB-C then?

With your overly skeptical attitude, you are just unnecessarily excluding yourself from the widest possible range of products that you can choose.

Besides, I had already started a thread some time ago regarding the tuning of DVB-C signals in NextPVR some time ago.

Anyway, you can also ask Croftie who also has the same card.

In any case, the other card to consider is BlackGold.

Btw, how much is the Mystique card that you listed? I might want to buy to try if it's attractively priced too.

I AM a bit skeptic because of some bad buys in the past. The thing is, if i buy a card at say $100 it is quite a lot of money for me, and if i end up with an unusable card it will cost me $50-$60 to return it due to the insane postal charges in Norway. An example is the card from Conrad that promised to be dual dvb-c but was only a single tuner.

Blackgold seems to be a good card but it costs twice as much as the other cards mentioned (at least the one's I'v found). Please let me know if I can get it cheaper somewhere.

Asking the manufacturer is a 50/50 chance to get an answer in my experience.
The Mystique card is 52 euro from dvbshop24.
