I bought the TV box for my media PC (Intel H55, Core i3), because it was not able to get a DVB-C PCI or PCI-Express card with half-height. Windwos 7 support Although innately DVB-C tuner, but unfortunately not the German protocol variant. Therefore, the card is detected, but no stations are found. Using DVB Logic's TVSource but can be solved by software, so that the integration into the Media Center does this problem. As CI I use a Alphacrypt Light with a slightly older firmware 1.16 that knows D09 card also my cable Germany.
My previous experience in this environment:
- Picture and sound without problems - Switching could be slightly faster (2-3 seconds) - Sporadic it comes out of standby in some problems with decoding or even no TV signal.
At the last point but I'm not sure if it is just only the USB TV tuner.
Conclusion: Good compact solution to a TV tuner with CI slot in a Media Center PC to integrate!
