Hi Kasperh,
I'm looking for a good usb2 tuner as well. The MSI Mega SKY580 seems to be on a few of the forum threads as a good usb2 tuner and it looks like the latest 0.2rc version of MediaPortal now supports it. Search the forums for that card and see what you find.

I take it back!!
Bought one of these cards and to be honest its a**e!! The tuner in it is really bad. I can pick up all of the freeeview channels perfectly on my two set-top boxes and my LifeView PCI card but cant pick up anything on the MSI MegaSky 580 at all.
Oh, and the supplied software refuses to even tune the card despite being updated to the latest version which "fixes" all of the issues. Not good.

I'm using a Hauppauge HVR-900, but only for DVB. It's an hybrid tuner, the analog part is software renderer, so not directly supported by MP; no problem because I have a PVR-350 for that. It works very well for most channels with the internal antenna that it has, because the building's has not been adaptef for DVB yet... I've also used an Airis G807 and worked well, no problems either using the larger internal antenna, the small one just doesn't make it.

Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine.
Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC?
PS: You can also try to make short record

When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...
