Default Which PCI/USB Tuner would you recommend?

I'm gonna use alt or progdvb to get some premiership football want to get atra hotbird twin lnb set-up, just wondered what people would recommend for a good[hopefully] semi-futureproof[hd] set-up
I looked at some twinhan cards and will be needing half height really due to media centre system....
Cheers

I would suggest hanging on for a very short while until the Skystar HD2 card is on the shelves. Looking at the piccies it appears to have a separate power supply and inbuilt processing.

That is not the same picture that I saw. The angle doesn't show the connection. I will do another search.
