bazzer: Has anyone used it on their PC? THat sounds interesting, would it work straight forwardly in Windows 7? I might give that a go when I get my unit...
Yeah, download slightly modified pinnacle drivers from here:

That's why importing from UK was no problem as you could always fall back on using this as a tuner for the PC.
Anyway, once in Windows Media Player you can fully realise the twin tuners in the hardware, so it can work like a proper independent twin tuner card should, record two at once, watch another sort of thing that PlayTV software doesn't allow you to do.
Looks like pinnacle sold it's TV tuner hardware section to Hauppauge. The imported price for playTV is about the same as buying a twin tuner card here in NZ anyway, so all good.
