I'm pretty sure it only has one tuner. Someone feel free to tell me I'm wrong though.

the a180 is a single tuner ATSC card.

i used to run two of them until i switched to HDHR and a Mac server... anyone looking for a pair of a180s on the cheap?

this is the card i bought direct from sage

The AVerMedia A180 HD PCI Card brings Over-the-Air HDTV to your PC screen with the following great features:
Video is Recorded with a Hardware MPEG-2 Encoder in standard MPEG-2 format
Record, Playback and Time Shift (Pause, Rewind and Instant Replay) TV programs from your PC
Support for free over-the-air ATSC signal 480p, 720p and 1080i (with wide screen support)
Dual TV Tuner drivers


Thanks to all for all the help on this and my many other questions. I beleive my system us finally up and stable including playing native blu ray files on the extender! Going to buy the Batman DVD in a few minutes.

Dual TV Tuner drivers

one set of drivers can address 2 individual tuning cards. each card has only ONE ATSC tuner.

this was a fairly big deal when they came out with these drivers (some other ATSC cards had trouble if you had two of the same cards in the same PC).

no problem. i thought those tuners were great, and would still have them in use if i hadn't switched to a mac-based server. enjoy!
