W10 TV Tuners?
What PCI-e TV Tuner cards are people using successfully with W10 MC? Specifically DVB-S2 & DVB-T2. Many thanks.

Tuners I've used in the last few years:
- Pinnacle 7010ix
- Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1200
- Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 (now)
Unfortunately, AFAIK none of them was DVB-T2.

I've got a Hauppauge Quad HD PCIe DVB-T2 card in one of my PCs. It works well but as you may be aware, the recordings only have stereo sound in the UK because there's no codec available for WMC to support the ridiculous audio standard we use on DVB-T2 here.
I've got four Hauppauge WinTV Starburst 2 DVB-S2 PCIe cards in my other PC and they work well. It is just a shame that Hauppauge don't make cards with multiple DVB-S2 tuners on them.
I tried various cards from TBS but they didn't seem to have as much gain as the Hauppauge ones I've used and kept failing to record due to not acquiring a signal quickly enough.
