- Dual Tuner ATSC Cards
- Posted by Steve on November 17th, 2005
Does anyone know if there are any ATSC cards out there that have dual tuners
(1 for ATSC and 1 for NTSC) and is a widely known company?

ATI has a card that does that (some variants of the HDTV Wonder) BUT MCE
won't be able to use both the HD and NTSC parts at the same time as hybrid
cards of this nature aren't supported (the NTSC part if available, would be
disabled in MCE).

ADS Tech recently released their Instant HDTV product that includes one HDTV
tuner in addition to a standard tuner and is MCE certified. I just got two
to try in my next media center pc but haven't used it yet.

Let us how your installation goes. It is possible that the ADS Tech card
will work the same as the also MS approved ATI HDTV Wonder card which is a
combo card with an NTSC and an ATSC tuner. The ATI card only supports one
of the tuners at a time, meaning you can't watch a channel on one tuner and
record from the other tuner. Also MCE only supports the ATSC tuner on the
ATI card not the NTSC tuner so you still need a separate NTSC tuner card to
present to install the ATI card.
