Looking for recommendations for new tuner hardware

[neilbradley]

I've currently got a SageTV system with two WinPVR-150s, one tuner using the IR blaster in one of the PVR150s, and the other is a USB-UIRT. My dilema now is that I'm out of PCI slots- very much out of PCI slots and I want to add new hardware - in that machine, so I'm looking for something that's USB or firewire based if at all possible. Yes, I've looked at the compatability list on the SageTV site, but what they don't tell me is whether or not more than one will run and if they come with USB blasters (or if they'll work with the USB-UIRT).

Does anyone have any specific recommendations for the following:

* Two USB based capture cards
* Must have S-Video and RCA (audio) inputs
* Must work with the USB-UIRT, or at least have a blaster (each) that can tune my Dish Network tuners
* Works well with SageTV 6.1 (or newer), of course

Thank you!

The USB-UIRT works independently of the tuner. SageTV uses it to set the channel on your STB, not the tuner.

I have 2 PVR-USB2 devices work nicely. I thought there was an issue where you couldn't mix the older version with the new version, but if you are buying now, I would think you would end up with 2 of the same ones.
