    EDIT: What are the KWorld tuners like? I see you're using one of their USB models. At least one of the PCI models has passthrough and they're pretty cheap as well. Presumably as long as they have BDA drivers they'll work with MP.

    I've had no problems with the Kworld 399U I use (on Vista), although I suggested it to someone running XP recently and they had a frustrating time with it - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-cards-333/dvb-t-card-anyone-72869/

    Thanks for the replies folks. In the end I picked up a cheap second-hand Twinhan 3020C off ebay and it seems to be OK - keep getting "no signal" errors trying to use it in MP, but I think that's down to my signal strength (while scanning it said I had only 30% strength, and took quite a few scans before it detected the channels). It's obviously not as sensitive as the DVB-T tuner in my telly, which picks up all available channels easily, but it was so cheap I'm not that bothered, and it's shown up the weak signal. Perhaps I'll need to fiddle with the aerial (rubbishy old one because we've been using mostly freesat) or get a signal amp. Anyway, that's another subject altogether. If we start using DVB-T more perhaps I'll invest in a more sensitive dual tuner, but for now it'll do fine (as long as I can boost my signal strength a bit).
