Hello,

I'm looking for an tuner to be used with my ASRock ION HTPC. Since the device is very small I need an external USB tuner.
Which tuner would you recommend?

What I expect:
- SD and HD
- Runs with Windows 7 RTM
- Full support by media portal
- Full support by Windows 7 Media Center (I parially use this)
- CI support (only nice-to-have)

Do USB tuners without external power supply exist?

I focussed the TeVii S650 or S660. Does this work?

Hi johnny-b,

Did you find a suitable card and if so, which one?

I'm looking for the same, but preferably with a dual tuner, so DVB-S2 USB.
Thanks.

I have choosen the TeVii S660 and I'm happy with this tuner. I had the S650 before, but the S650 has high power consumption in standby. This is not the case with the S660.
So far I only used this with the Media Center of Win7. I do not have results from MediaPortal usage.

    I've recieved my S660; but it's not switching Diseqc :( , the other card i've got in my system is a FireDTVS2; this card can switch Diseqc correctly.
    Both on same LNB (2 outputs, 2 sattelit)

    can you say something about the normal usage of the tevii s660?
    - how fast is channel switching?
    - does it work good with MP together?

    i'm planning to use it with my asrock ion 330 with 2,1Ghz atom.
    is this strong enough for live-tv?

    thanks for the input
