I currently use a SiliconDust HDHomeRun DVB-T2 tuner and this works great with both EPG Collector and WMC.
I would however like to also add a DVB-S2 satellite tuner. What makes this more complex is that the system I am using does not have any PCI slots and I am also still running as mentioned Windows Media Centre.
SiliconDust did a few years ago suggest they were going to launch a DVB-S2 tuner but never did. (As an aside they also promised to add DVB subtitle support to their own software and also have failed to deliver this.)
SAT>IP network tuners apparently lack a BDA driver and hence do not work with WMC.
Does anyone have any suggestions for either an alternative network tuner or USB tuner that would work with WMC? I would want at least two tuners in the solution.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yeah, I found that one as well. It is a single Tuner although it should be possible to use two of them. They did use to make a twin tuner model but that is discontinued. I will bear it in mind.
My ideal solution would be a network tuner.
