Hi Burner.
I can reccomend the WinTV-PVR-USB2 (has hardware encoding)

Though I had a few issues with the drivers, couldn't use the quality settings within Media Portal (would record at some insane bitrates, higher than my system could handle).
But thats fixed now, and it works like a charm
If you are looking for an USB tuner because you are planning on moving it around, using it on a labtop or something, it might be a little bulky.

I'm not sure what the issue was, but I decided to try a different way of solving the problem.
My server has a 2.5Gbps port and the 10Gbps card I added, so I've connected the HD Homerun directly to the 2.5G port, and its solved the problem, I can now copy large multiple files to the server and not suffer with picture issues.
There is...

Just did an update of my system from Win 7 / MP 1.25 to Win 10 / MP 1.31 on a single seat system and came across a problem with the tv server startup being erratic.

Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:
