Thanks for your reply Stanman.

The links you sent is actually for 2 different type of tuners.
The one sold by forum sponsor (Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T) does not support MPEG-4
The other one (WinTV-NOVA-TD Stick) support MPEG-4,
Can someone comfirm that this stick will work with VU+ Duo
Does someone know if there is a list of tuners that works with VU+ Duo
Is there af how to guide for Blackhole installing af tuner.

You are wrong. Ordinary Nova-T stick supports MPEG4 just fine ;) Its software that deals with MPEG4 not hardware.

I ordered the pctv nanostick t2 290e the other day so going to try this on Vix 2.3, apparently it works fine. I'm in Ireland too so I will post my findings here for anyone here who would like to know!

I'm in Ireland & I use the Nova T Win TV stick.
It has crashed the box the odd time but generally I find it fairly stable & extremely usable using VIX 2.3.
I had one Irish ch being watched last night, another being recorded (RTE2 HD) & a HD sat ch being recorded all at the same time.
No issues on any of them.

I got my PCTV T2 stick today and thanks to silverfox I managed to get it up and running (Needed drivers from the Vix feeds)

I am impressed with how stable it is, hasn't failed as yet and I've ben trying by flicking the channels quite a bit. Couple of things that I will need to do though, Saorview signal is not great where I am currently pointing so the odd pixelation on those channels and doesn't look like FreeView HD is being broadcast from NI where I am picking up that signal from.

I assume it will be fine when it is broadcasting as the SD channels are rock solid.

Now to get a ladder and spin the aerial to point at the local Saorview Antenna :eek:

Been using my PCTV T2 290e since christmas and has been rock-solid on all channels using the winter hill transmitter

just needs more than the current 4 HD channels to make the stick good value for money

[glic83]

So is the PCTV T2 290e the most stable for use in Ireland?

[judge]

The Nova T works fine for me in Ireland.

[glic83]

They all seem fairly pricy,how much did you pay for your tunner m8?

[judge]

I paid about 35 euros, got it on amazon uk.

Whereas my t2 doesn't work so well, every so often loosing picture, and still showing full signal...

WinTV Nova T works fine for MPEG4 but it depends what country you are in. In the UK HD freeview channels are transmitted in DVB-T2 so this stick is not compatible, but for many other countries like Ireland or here it works just fine because HD channels are transmitted in DVB-T.
