Hi everyone,

I just bought a new Laptop (HP DV6-6C38TX, Windows 7, 64bit) and would like to get your recommendations for a USB DVB-T and DVB-S tuner (my older Laptop DV5-1009tx had a built in DVB-T Tuner).

I see there are quite a few DVB-T USB tuners on TradeMe at various pricing, but I would like to use it with MediaPortal.  I used MediaPortal a couple of years ago and found it was better than Windows Media Center.

I would also like to know of a good remote too, that would work not only with the tuner (MediaPortal or Windows Media Center), but with Cyberlink PowerDVD (Blu-Ray).

I know you can get top range tuners that get installed into Desktop computers, but because I use a Laptop, I require USB devices.

Regarding DVB-S, I have used one of these before but found that the software it came with was incredibly buggy, so any other recommendations would be great.

Thanks for your time!
