0Blackgold 3600: O novo cartão de TV final

Eu me mudei recentemente casa, mas o acesso à Internet agora que eu restaurado (sempre a primeira prioridade) Eu fui encarregado de triagem totalmente fora TV em casa. A configuração anterior não é ruim - com um servidor de mídia (incluindo TV cartões) aninhado, e um HTPC no salão. Ambos executam o Media Center e o DVBLink. Desta forma, também posso obter TV no meu PC de mesa e laptop. Num futuro próximo, estarei construindo outro HTPC para o quarto TV so we can watch recor­ded pro­grammes in bed. All these poten­tial record­ings and watch­ing are bey­ond the cap­ab­il­ity of my cur­rent tuner setup — a Black­Gold BGT3620 and a Compro S350.

The Black­gold does a great job at get­ting freeview HD and its a dual tuner. The Compro is a single tuner and only sup­ports DVB-S, which means many freesat chan­nels are now unavail­able. I’ve been really impressed with the Black­gold, and I like hav­ing a mix of freeview and freesat so that a prob­lem with one does­n’t mean no TV, so I decided to look for a DVB-S2 and DVB-T2 card. The obvi­ous option was the black­gold BGT3600 which has a dual tuner for both (along with a cable tuner).  I’ve pre-ordered one which should turn up towards the end of Feb­ru­ary with luck. This will provide me with a total of 7 usable tuners which should be more than enough for the fore­see­able future. When I’ve had the card in use for a week or 2 I’ll write up some thoughts about it and drop a link in here.
