Hi.If your talking true satellite TV, then I can't help [don't use it and have no idea how too.However from previous service you had, my guess is the service you are using in ground based DVB-T [in UK, this is called 'Freeview'].For this unless your decoder provides a TV data stream on Ethernet, you WILL need a tuner.MOST simple USB based tuners work with MediaPortal [example - USB Freeview HD TV Tuner - August DVB-T210 - Watch Digital Television in Full HD on Laptop and Desktop Computers - External Televison Card for Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories], however I would use the signal from your antenna and to the little whip aerial provided.Depending on need, you may want 2 channels [example - Hauppauge WinTV-dual HD - Dual, Triple Mode, TV Tuner for Freeview (DVB-T), Freeview HD (DVB-T2) and Cable (DVB-C) broadcasts: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories]. NOTE - MediaPortal can show and record MULTIPLE channels on a SINGLE receiver IF they are transmitted on the same transponder - this purely down to your provider and what channels you want to watch/record.Setting up TV server - TV-Server Configuration - MediaPortal 1 - MediaPortal Wiki. This will walk you through the setup - note, your tuner will be under TVServer-> Hostname -> Server [where server will probably start "DVB-T......"]Cheers - JCMP
