Hi all,

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