    I am using a hauppauge wintv (if that's the correct spelling) on a Duo (not Duo2). I am based in Ireland so not sure of comparability for your local.

    Can check model number later if you like?

    I have two usb dvb-t dual tuners (as per my signature below). The Hauppauge WinTV Nova TD (DIB0700 chipset drivers) works well with both the Duo and the Duo2. The Avermedia Twinstar (AF9035 chipset drivers) currently works well with the Duo but is not detected with the Duo2. I'm not sure why the Duo2 doesn't 'get on' with the Twinstar (the Duo2 firmware is still getting lots of changes?). These tuners do not support dvb-t2.

    Cheers
