DVB-S tuner recommendations

#1

Hi all,
I'm looking to pick up a DVB-S/S2 tuner to do some playing with. At this point, I have no interest in conditional access stuff - I'm just looking for FTA. Only need one tuner, but would prefer a USB unit so I can use it with my laptop. Tuner should support WMC and ideally allow me to save the MPEG Transport Stream to a file. Any recommendations? Hopefully something with a US distributor?
