A tiny little card with good performance and excellent software, Asus' My Cinema ES2-750 PT/FM/AV/RC Hybrid TV Card is let down by its lack of a second digital tuner.
Since the nettop manufacturers (i.e. the new LG ION based nettop) don't seem to have the imagination, interest or intelligence to bundle a dual freeview+ tuner with their products could TR do a review of such a nettop with a TR selected suitable tuner (I presume it would have to be a USB based one since there doesn't seem to be many expansion slots in these small boxes) and comment on its performance vs dedicated set top boxes from the likes of Panasonic etc?
I wouldn't buy one of these until the new DVB 'freeview HD' spec is finalised. They aren't going with the same one as is in Europe, so the tuners in these devices (that they've been selling for many years!) won't work with it.
Yeah I cant believe we haven't a nettop with dual tuners yet. Maybe they don't really have the power but with Ion 2 expected before christmas a turner that supports Cuda would be perfect
