Suggest DVB-T2 / DVB-S2 card
Added by Robert E almost 10 years ago
Hey!
Need help deciding which DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 card (PCI-E) to buy. It should work with MPEG4 and preferably with two or more inputs at a reasonable price?
thanks

Hi Robert,
I have the same question, because Hannover/Germany plans to switch from DVB-T to DVB-T2 within next two years and I'm running 3 Tuners Realtek RTL2832u on DVB-T.
As far as I can see on this pages [[http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=35&Level=4&Conn=3&ProdID=257]] and [[http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/RealTek_RTL2832U]], this is just a tuner and forwards whatever comes from the air. Thus, I expect linuxdvb driver or even tvheadend will handle if it is DVB-T (MPEG2) or DVB-T2 (MPEG4). In the case I'm right, I can lean back and smile ... my 3 devices I purchased: [[http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B009HR8D38?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01]] are working well with tvheadend and multiple KODI systems, and they will do still after DVB-T2.
HTH,
Daisy

Digital Devices have those, but not really at a reasonabl price in my opinion.
I have a Digital Devices DVB-S2 version 6.5 and it works out of the box with TVHeadend. No Goggling for days, automatically recognized/functions.
Hope this helps.

Dvbsky S960 is a good one.

I recommend the DVBSky T9580 dual DVB-T2 and DVB-S2 tuner works OOTB on newer kernels.
@Daisy Reiss: None of those tuners will work with DVB-T2 they are all DVB-T only, at switch over you'll lose all services using those.
