I was wondering can anyone recommend USB DVB-S2 hardware for NextPVR? I am out of PCI / PCI-e slots!
 I was considering this - http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeVii-S662-DVB-S...DVB-S2+USB Thanks

Sometimes, someone has to go where no man has gone before. Boldly.
Why not buy one and see? You can always flog it on eBay if it doesn't...

I got one of these for an HP microserver TBS QBOX DVB-S2 http://www.amazon.co.uk/DVB-S2-Definitio...B0038LTZE0
Works fine after a few driver updates. Not sure about current availability.

A search found this previous experience.

Thanks
NextPVR has changed a huge amount since I last investigated this. The last time the problem was that BDA drivers don't seem to natively support commands needed for DVB-S2, and each vendor implements these differently.

I've used this with npvr for about 3years - no issues.

also not available, but why is still needed external adapter today?
Just plug it into your PC or laptopsâ USB 2.0 port, plug in the external power supply and connect a satellite dish:confused:

I'm not sure how much amperage is needed & I'm not sure a USB port would supply enough but for satellite you also have to power the LNB through the signal cable These TBS ones are available http://www.buydvb.net/dvbs2s-tv-tuner-usb-c-3.html they are basically later versions of the QBox martint123 mentioned |
