Hi All

Can anyone recommend a USB tuner that works for sat on a Solo 2 running Vix Hades? I'm getting a motorised dish but want to leave my sky dish in place and would ideally like 3 tuners.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, not cheap then.

Found the DVB 960 for £47 delivered from Germany on http://www.dvbshop.net/

Does the above sound about right?

Don't expect the performance to be as good as fixed or original plug and play tuners.

Just to add to this, I have tried both dvbSky 960 and sundtek usb sat tuners with solo2, the sundtek is way more reliable than the dvbsky and has great technical support including skype.

What model Sundtek tuner?

Edit: Just looked and guess this is the one http://sundtek.com/shop/Digital-TV-Sticks-oxid/Sundtek-SkyTV-Ultimate-IV-DVB-S/S2.html

Cheaper anywhere else?

What would you suggest then, selling the solo and buying a duo?

Yes that is the one, no I havnt seen anybody do it cheaper than that but you get what pay for compared to the dvbsky.
