    Recommendations for PCIe FTA tuner

    Hi all, I just had a DVB-World DVB-S2 PCIe satellite computer tuner die on me and I'm starting to consider replacements. Any good recommendations? I have previously used the WinTV Nova with success, however it doesn't do DVB-S2 and I may as well future-proof my FTA computer set-up.
