Suitable USB DVB-S2 tuner

[Big Jake]

Hi,

I'm looking to get an external USB tuner which will be running from my laptop. I want to use it mainly for feeds in DVB-S2 / 4:2:2.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to buy? I've been looking at the "TechniSat SkyStar USB HD box" on Amazon, which sounds ideal - mind you, a lot of the reviews are negative which is concerning. I've also been looking at the TBS Q-Box 5922 - would this be more suitable?

TIA

There's also the ProfTuner 7500. http://www.proftuners.com/prof7500.html

So which one would you recommend? Is there a UK dealer for ProfTuner ?

Based on the fact I've never heard of the two you referred too but I know quite a few people who owns the Prof I'd say that one. No UK dealer but a very efficient online shop, used it a few times without problems.
