I'm using a Genius TV-GO USB tuner - change out of $55 and it "Just Works
(TM)"
Never failed in 6 months, it supports multiple PID filtering so multirec
works OK, one day I might even get the coldplug blacklist to load the
drivers correctly (I have to unplug & plug back in if the backend gets
power cycled).
