Does anyone have one of these? I would like to get a decent one that has a coax input for a larger antenna. I browsed through a few cheap ones but want something that is at least as sensitive as the tuner in my Pansat 9200.
Are there any universal programs for a PC to utilize one of these? I have never used one before but would like to get one.

I have one that I got four years ago, but I'm not sure if they sell them anymore. It's a PCTV 801e that's the size of a USB thumb drive. Very sensitive and also does cable QAM. Works with its own Windows software and WMC as well as Kaffeine in Linux. F connector on one end and USB plug on the other. Cost around a hundred bucks at the time.

Sublime, did you ever try the PCTV 801e stick in the Raptor and E2?

I plugged it in, but no extra tuners appeared in the menus to set up in either firmware. It was as if I hadn't plugged anything in at all.
OTOH, I was able to plug it in to my computer and use VLC to stream a digital cable channel via IPTV to HDMU.
