That’s funny guess some people dont think. I would have though it was showing up as #2 since it’s your second NIC. Since the Ceton shows up more like a Network interface card your onboard nic would probally be NIC #1 and the Ceton would be Nic #2 at least that’s what i would think.

Actually, Windows will create a #2 when you have already installed the card in one slot and then install the card into a 2nd slot, even if the first card is no longer installed. Windows actually has the device under the device manager as a hidden device. It makes some sense because this new device has a different hardware address in the new slot and it also means that if it is say a USB device, you don’t have to reinstall the driver everytime you plug the device in.

I don’t blame you… so it looks like the RF cable is run to the back of the board and there are two tuners there with a heat sink/and/or can. Then there is the daughterboard on top of it that looks like another two tuners so that they can depopulate that and sell the two tuner version.

I’ve updated the review with a photo gallery, I’ll be adding captions as time permits.  But if you have any questions please ask.

Thanks for posting those. Judging by the 3 PCBs there, they could shave quite a bit of cost if they could pack a single board more densely.

Mikinho, In your part II review, would you mind posting some close-up shots detailing the boards and how they are put together?
