World's First Quad DVB-T (HDTV) solution

Exclusively developed for DigitalNow, this 4 HDTV tuner device represents the latest state of the art design for PC based Digital TV solutions.

No more splitters, cables all over the place and cluttered PC cases. This card requires only one antenna and one PCI-Express slot,  making it extremely easy to install.

Now you can watch and record up to four different DVB-T frequencies (HDTV) channels at the same time or listen to one  DAB+ radio station while recording 3 different DVB-T frequency channels.

Comes with BDA drivers and DVB-T works with XP, Vista and Windows 7 Media Center, DNTV Scheduler Pro and other BDA based applications. 

Note

This is a 4 digital TV tuner card with one antenna input, you must supply it a good quality digital TV signal to operate it properly (see under system requirements), if you are in an area where the signal is marginal, this product is most likely not suitable, consider single or dual tuner devices  for your situation.
