Smile One PCI slot left...NVidia Dual TV users?

Okay, I'm done with my HTPC, working on a few final tweaks (see color saturation thread). MCE remote plays nicely with BTV using HIP, no problems with recording and playback, etc...easing the wife into using it now.

I've got room for one more PCI tuner in my rig...right now I have a Vista View Dual Saber in (along with a Win 950 USB tuner I'm using for HD...I need to put my specs in my sig like everyone else does sometime).

For sure, I'll be installing a outdoor antenna up in the attic soon to rope in some more HD goodness...but that's beside the fact.

I'd like another dual tuner: I'm going to stay away from the Win TV 500 for now, since the tuners seem to be sketchy.

I'm thinking about the NVIDIA DualTV. Anyone have experience with this card that can tell me if this is worth asking for for Xmas? Does it play well with BTV?

I'm running two 7600GS's in SLI (512MB), 2GB ram and a 3ghZ processor off an ASUS mobo if that helps.

Thanks!

DualTV works great with BTV and the Nvidia Purevideo Decoder. I use it to stream via Orb every day.

However, If you asked me if I could tell the difference between the DualTV and my old Hauppauge 500, I would have to say no, although I think the DualTV is a bit better on machine resources (just my opinion).

I have a DualTV card and it works great. The company that makes the Vistaview just released drivers that support multiple cards in the same machine, though, so if you have the PCI-E slot, you may want to go that route.
