These cards are I think more reliable than usb ones. Only downside with this card is I think it may be single tuner so even though dvb-t shows as separate to dvb-s only one will work at a time I think. Haven't tested this yet though.</font></div><div><font color="#888888" dir="auto"><br></font></div><div><font color="#888888" dir="auto">For recording freeview sat signal you only need a dvb-s tuner but dvb-s2 ones should be backwards compatible. If you somehow manged to record sky then a dvb-s tuner is all you need for all channels bar the few duplicated hd channels but at some point soon they will be migrating to all dvb-s2. I can't see freeview changing any time soon though.</font></div></body></html>
