Hi guys,

Theres something that im not sure about with these cards that have 1 or 2 tuners and an AV input.

My question is:

For instance if you have a tuner card with 1 Analogue tuner on it and an AV input on it as well, does MCE see those as 2 individual tuners (when for instance your using the AV to connect Foxtel & the tuner for FTA), so you can watch analogue tv as well as Foxtel through the AV, or does MCE see this as just a single tuner? (so you can only either setup Fox through the AV or FTA on the Analogue tuner, not both) i didnt know if the analogue tuner and the AV inputs were linked or seperate...

this leads me to another query:

If you plan on hacking MCE so you can use analogue as well as digital tuners together, can you then use a card that has a digital tuner, an analogue tuner & AV inputs to watch Digital FTA via the antenna input as well as Foxtel on the AV. or would i just be better off sticking with my existing digital tuner card and then getting a seperate card that has an analogue tuner & AV inputs?

I currently have a Hauppauge Nova-T-500 Dual Digital Tuner card and i was looking at the possibility of getting a card along the lines of a Compro T750 which has a digital tuner & a seperate analogue tuner and AV inputs, so the combination of the hauppauge card and the Compro card would give me 3 Digital tuners and AV input for Foxtel. But i wanted to know if the setup would work.

Big thanks to anyone who can help me out with this! im getting Foxtel installed today and so im looking for a solution thats gonna work best.

Thanks guys,
