I'm looking for a USB (PCI acceptable though) device that tunes in:
ATSC (OTA and 121 channel cable)
FM stereo
Don't really need functioning time-shift PVR functionality. Just a tuner that functions with MC would be nice.
Oh, and it would be really nice if 2-3 of these devices could co-exist on the same hardware/OS platform with MC.
I'm staring real hard at the ATI TV Wonder 650 USB and the SiliconDust HDHomeRun. Comments?
And thanks!

I hope other users who tried these can provide some comments. We have not tried either of these.
We have tested an older ATI device, HDTV Wonder, that works well. Therefore I would think TV Wonder 650 USB should work too.

I wonder if you could start a 'hardware fund' that people can contribute to.
Make a wish list of a/v hardware you want to test and get working with MC and set up a paypal link for users who want to help out.
Not that ATSC cards are all that expensive (say around $150- each) but if you guys could end up with a new card from time to time it would likely save a lot of RMA and wasted shipping charges among the user base.

We are testing new cards. Money is not the issue. Time is the issue.

As soon as I get my temporal field distorter back from Star Fleet Depot Maintenance I'll loan it to you guys.
If not sooner ;D

newsposter,
Thanks for the thought.

and apparently the new Slingbox Pro is fully networkable as a uPnP device.
In a 'perfect' world, MC (in server mode) would be able to manage multiple tuner devices for PVR as well as live viewing.
