    Hi Birdman,

    We have not had much luck with these configurations. Quality USB tuners are hard to find here and are generally over priced.

    An internal FBC DVB-T/T2 tuner with 8 channels would allow a single tuner to cover ALL Australian needs in a single hardware based module. Hopefully a manufacturer will have some sympathy and get a model out to the market.

    Regards,
    Ian.

    I have one that cost ~£16. You do need to put a hack into your start-up scripts to switch its two frontend devices around (I can't get the code put into Vix to do it properly).

    It says this:

    One FBC tuner supports 8 demodulators. Two slots make it 16 demodulators totally.
    • Slot A : FBC DVB-S2X, FBC-C V1/V2 and Dual T2(MTISF) Tuner
    • Slot B : FBC DVB-S2X, FBC-C V2 and Dual T2(MTISF) Tuner

    * FBC-C V1 Tuner can only be connected to slot A.

    So they are doing an FBC fitment T/T2 tuner but it's only a Dual tuner still.
    This tunerinterface is called:
    Multiplexed transport interface (MTSIF)

    Just Google MTSIF for more information.
