Hi Ian,
Been enjoying the podcast for a while now. Its going from strength to strength.
You mentioned new dual tuner digital over the air cards.
One of the popular brands in Australia and also in Europe i belive has one coming out soon here is a link to their product page.
http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/Products/DualDigital.aspx
Looks to be coming out in late october goign by the site.
As someone who built a personaly recordinger server using 5 digital tv cards switching that over to 5 of these dual cards just has me drooling at the thought.
Thoe this doesnt connect to a media center pc its a very cool system for recording shows using web schedular from sourceforge.
Bye for now and good luck with the show
