I use the DuoFlex / Octopus cards from http://shop.digital-devices.de/

What I really like about these is that a single PCIe adapter can support up to 8x tuners (4x dual cards) and you can mix and match DVB-S2 and DVB-T standards.

They've been rock solid for me with MP 1.4 and 1.5. The only problem I have is that they seem to be fussy on how the expander cards get powered: they have the small 4 pin power connectors (floppy?) but don't like larger molex connectors with adaptors and have only worked for me if connected directly to the PSU.

Apart from that, very easy to use, reliable and does not hog multiple slots.
