Hi,

Can someone recommend me a good USB Dual HD Tuner to work with Media Portal, I have media portal running my movies/tv etc but want to get the TV server running as well.

Thanks
Chris:cool:

    google works wonders u know

    i found 2 :
    Pinnacle PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity USB HD TV Tuner Stick
    DigitalNow TinyTwin


    USB tuners can have poor design, poor manufacturing etc...can be flimsy and break in ur hands when u pick them up or plug/unplug...so if i could i would go with a PCI card..if not a PCI-e card to be honest

    any reception u may get from a usb tuner would be terrible at best and u always need it connected to a wall antenna

    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...

    It took a while but loading the three updates and waiting, (I wandered off doing other things), while the Win 7 searched for updates eventually brought about 170 available updates. I picked the latest, largest and Cumulative ones and everything burst into action enough to re-install MediaPortal 1.33 which is running very well. I let...
