Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've really been missing Prime TV. I was kind of hoping that it might<br>
might make it to Freeview but it seems like it could be a year or two<br>
away! So I am wondering what the best way is for me to get it running<br>
on my system. I currently have a Hauppauge Win Nova-T 500 DVB-T dual<br>
tuner installed. I increased the virtual tuner count so I can record of<br>
up to two muxes simultaneously which I think is all I'm going to need<br>
for the channels/content available at the moment. So I'm reluctant to<br>
buy HVR 2200 (although it does look tasty) or similar dual function card<br>
and thought that maybe an analogue USB tuner might do the trick in the<br>
meantime. What do others do for Prime and is the USB an option and what<br>
recommendations are there. I only have one PCIe card slot available now<br>
(should have bought a full sized motherboard).<br>

</blockquote></div><br>I have a Pinnacle Dazzle USB tuner device that just plugs into the analogue aerial. I haven't needed to use it in MythTV because I get everything I need from Freeview & Sky, but I did try it once as an experiment and it seemed to work. They are cheap enough to have a crack without burning too many bridges or cash.<br>
