yup - you will need to add this to get HD channels

You have two lines the same addressing the small cable and none on the other cable as to where it should go since the motherboard has two plugs that it would fit.

So is this sub-board & 8PSK Module needed for BEV or just DN?

What to look out for when buying this adapter? I have seen some without the metal case....just the boards. Wondering if they are clones or something.....

The Clone types( Circuit Board types) actually run better, they run Cooler than the Metal Case type.
