[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 761720, member: 82144"] Hi tony72 I don't have any personal experience with Compro tuners but I thought I'd chime in since nobody else has offered any advice. Firstly, Compro tuners are not directly supported. From a satellite tuner perspective that means that advanced features such as DiSEqC may not work. That *may* include DVB-S2. Just the other day I was helping someone with a Compro S500 ([URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/installation-configuration-support-53/always-no-signal-my-videomate-s500-dtv-tuner-71088/"]thread here[/URL]). We haven't yet managed to get it working although I'm still working with the the person privately. So my opinion of Compro tuners comes from that perspective - not entirely positive, not the worst I've encountered... As far as alternatives go, there are a few that I think you should be aware of. Firstly, the QBOX series of tuners from TBS ([URL="http://tbsdtv.com/english/products.html"]spec[/URL], [URL="http://www.buydvb.net/dvbs2s-tv-tuner-usb_c3"]buy direct from TBS[/URL]). Good support... DiSEqC and DVB-S2 should work in MP... 5980 CI support being worked on... even Linux support I think. Then there is the [URL="http://www.tevii.com/Products_S660_1.asp"]Tevii S660[/URL] - solid product from everything I've heard. DiSEqC and DVB-S2 supported. Another option would be Technotrend: [URL="http://www.tt-pc.com/2779/TT-connect__S2-3600.html"]3600[/URL], [URL="http://www.tt-pc.com/2780/TT-connect__S2-3650_CI.html"]3650[/URL]. Some people have mentioned [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/submit-code-patches-mediaportal-tv-server-etc-325/tvserver-tt3650-ci-problem-after-wakeup-93904/"]a few issues[/URL] with the 3650, but it seems that it works fine if you get the right driver. Again, DiSEqC and DVB-S2 supported. We also support the CI interface with multidecrypt.

Terratec's support can be a bit hit and miss, however I don't think there is too much wrong with their products. So there are a few options.
