I would be very grateful if anyone could answer any of my questions
and correct any wrong assumptions.
Requirements
I am getting a new dell inspiron 6400 notebook in about 2 weeks with
windows vista ultimate. I live in the UK in an area which will not
receive digital terrestrial television until 2012. My old housemates
sky satellite subscription and digi box will be taken away soon but I
would like to make use of the dish he is leaving behind. I require
two analogue tuners with the ability to record two chanels
simultaneously if possible. I will also require a remote control and
ir blaster if i need to remotely control a digibox. I will be moving
my notebook around alot, mainly to work and back but would like to
watch live television when not at home.
1) Can anyone recommend suitable compatible tuners? My preference
would be a small hauppage dual analogue usb stick, but this doesn't
seem to be available.
2) If I can't get a dual tuner, I quite like the idea of the digital/
analogue hybrids, can I use two of these?
3) If I don't get a bundled remote I would like the new official media
center one, when is this available?
4) If I want to make use of free sky satellite channels, is there any
alternative to getting a sky digibox and viewing card?
5) If I use a digibox, can I connect this to an analogue tuner via a
standard tv aerial lead?
6) Does media center conveniently swap between television listings if
i keep moving around?
Thanks
Chris

I have just seen this one recommended a few days ago
http://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2mcekit.html
It looks a bit bulky to carry around alot and only has one tuner (i
think). Not as elegant as many of the digital ones that i've seen.
Anyone know of anything, smaller, more recent and with two tuners?
