Blackgold BGT3540

This looks like a rather nice new card:

Is it likely to be supportable?

If it has BDA drivers then it should work.

Great, ta sub. It seems to have. I might give one a go, looks cheap enough given the spec, I thought.

I've got one and am installing it in a new Vista PC now. I'll report back...

Looks versatile, does it have hardware mpeg on the analogue tuner though?
I look forward to your report.

Not a great deal of progress so far, to be honest - but that's more from a lack of time rather than anything else. I have satellite working, although am struggling to get decent BBC HD playback (shame, would have been nice to watch today's rugby in HD!) That's about as far as I've got at the moment. I don't have an aerial at the moment so haven't tried the analog (or indeed the freeview) but will hopefully get one next week.

Some progress - (BBC) HD now working fine since I bought the CoreAVC Professional codec and installed AC3Filter. But there is something not right - when I change channels from HD to another channel that channel doesn't work. Hmmm...
