    if you havent heard of it, how can you be sure its a good price?
    its not much dearer than the hauppauge cards tbh.

    but personally, i would wait for the new blackgold card which is launching soon

    cool. do you have any previous experience with blackgold cards?

    no, but i have seen their previous card highly recommended by many htpc forums over the years.
    they are suppposed to be very high quality.

    its a 6 in 1 card (2xDVB-S2, 2xDVB-T, 2xanalog)

    Agree with this. The blackgold is the one to get. Dual HD sat and DTT and it should be 150 to 200eur which is good value.

    I already have a hybrid hauppage 1300 Digital DVB-T and Analogue TV. So, I only need the dvb s2 tuner.

    That is why I though of TBS's card. Being PCIE is also a plus
    The blackgold looks like a fantastic card, but I would also prefer to remain in the 100e range.

    WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2 is also a possiblity. However, I was not mad about latency and picture quality of my hauppage card. So, I thought a chance could be good

    Thanks
