I'm not sure how many other SD USB2 tuners there are, but my Hauppauge PVR-USB2 tuners work quite well -- one of my PCs has 2-USB2 and 1-250.

Hauppauge USB2 here has worked well - no issues. Selling now for $70. I paid a lot more - the early buyer syndrome.

But I do wish I knew what the unmarked red LED on it means.
Sometimes it is off, sometimes on.

Have you seen the commercial where someone is turning on and off a switch and asks "what does this switch do?". Evidentally it doesn't just raise and lower the garage door it also turns on and off the USB2's red LED.

When the red light is on, it means there is current flowing through the LED.

Other than that...

Any idea where to get it for 70 or so? I can't seem to find it that cheap.
