Hi Burner.

I can reccomend the WinTV-PVR-USB2 (has hardware encoding)
http://www.haupauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html

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.

MP2 uses the same TV engine as MP1, so it must work also with MP2, you just need to select TVE3 and not TVE3.5 in the installer. MP2 also supports a 3rd TV engine TVMosaic, but this is configured web-based and I can not tell you, if this works with your hardware.

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...

in our Wiki you find the list of compatible hardware. If your hardware is not mentioned try to use the search function in forum. If you are lucky others tried your hardware and shared their experience. In worst case you need to just try by your self. As we are Open Source we can unfortunately not purchase all hardware types, but just...
