Robin Bowes Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all. I'm in the market for a new USB Freeview box/stick to replace my Freecom DVB-T. Background I have a rooftop aerial with a 4-way mast-mounted splitter/amplifier. I have 3 cables conencted to it - two of them go to set-top boxes (a Topfield 5800 and a Thomson PVR) and the other goes to my PC. The set-top boxes can receive all channels, but I can't get Film4/UKTV History with the Freeview stick. I have tried a STB on the aerial feed to my PC and it works fine, so I have decided the Freecom stick needs replacing. Requirements - dual tuners - CAM slot / CI module (so I can subscribe to Setanta) - USB Can anyone recommend a suitable box/stick that works well with DVBViewer? Thanks, R. Quote

Do you know anywhere? Or do you have any other suggestions? What about the hauppage WinTV-CI with a WinTV-Nova-TD? Are either of those suppoered by DVBViewer? Thanks, R> Quote
